While still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them,
“This generation is an evil generation;
it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it,
except the sign of Jonah.
Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites,
so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
At the judgment
the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation
and she will condemn them,
because she came from the ends of the earth
to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
and there is something greater than Solomon here.
At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation
and condemn it,
because at the preaching of Jonah they repented,
and there is something greater than Jonah here.” Lk 11:29-32
Would Jesus say the same thing about our generation if He were here preaching today? With technology and the opportunity to watch Jesus perform miracles on Youtube or Facebook would change nothing. People would continue to say that He is performing magic, the videos have been edited or doctored up, it is all a show. Why do people need signs? We have a hard time believing and trusting. Jesus has never lied, but we have been lied to several times. Jesus is who He says He is or He is pulling a fast one on a lot of people. He died and resurrected like He said He would. There were several eyewitness accounts of Jesus and His message. Sometimes, we believe everything we see on the news. Then, we find out that it was not the truth or facts at all. What is Jesus asking us today? To trust and believe and “blessed are those who believe without seeing”. This is hard. If you are all in, the rewards are eternal!
Today’s challenge: Find a good spiritual book online or at the Catholic bookstore. Trust and believe in Jesus with your whole heart, mind, body and soul.
Become a saint!
