More?

Why do we continually ask for more?

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. (Acts 16:31-32 KJV)

That’s the continuation of Christ’s words:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 KJV)

Yet, we become Hezekiah in II Kings 20, as he lay dying and was promised an additional fifteen years - repeated in Isaiah:

And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; (Isaiah 38:7 KJV)

Hezekiah wanted more:

And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? (2 Kings 20:8 KJV)

Jesus, walking up and down Israel healing the sick, preaching God’s word, and the religious asked for more:

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. (Mark 8:11-12 KJV)

Doesn’t matter whether we’re the religious looking for a sign or the logical looking for a reason – we want more:

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: (1 Corinthians 1:22 KJV)

Why continue to request more? Especially when there are other questions remaining:

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; (Hebrews 2:3 KJV)
