Jesus today (Lk 11: 29- 32) says that the people of Nineveh, and the "queen of the south" (a figure of some mystery) will condemn the generation to whom He is speaking because those earlier figures heard the preaching and wisdom of an earlier time and believed it, but the people of Jesus' time, who are hearing even greater wisdom and preaching, are not believing it. They want a sign, Jesus says, and they will get one-- like Jonah who spent three days in the belly of a whale, Jesus will spend days in the earth and rise on the third day-- but they will not believe. So, He calls them "an evil generation." We have that same sign that was given to the "evil generation." We hear the same wisdom and preaching that was greater than that of the Old Testament, wisdom and preaching that caused repentence at the time of Solomon and in Nineveh. So, are we an "evil generation" as well? Do we hear the wisdom and preaching, and not let it impact us? Do we see the sign of Jesus' death and resurrection, and refuse to be impacted unless there is some even-greater sign? Of course, we say we're not like the folks of Jesus' time who rejected the preaching, wisdom and sign. That's what we like to believe, but is it true? If some prosecutor were given the task of convicting us of the crime of Christianity, could he or she do so? If we were to take the Fifth and not say anything in our trial, what evidence could be assembled for the proposition that we really believe the message of Christ, that we have accepted the truth of the sign we have received, that we have incorporated the wisdom and preaching into our lives? Jesus' point is that the people to whom He is speaking (and by extension, all of us) have had ultimate truth revealed to us, the greatest truth of all. How can we fail to believe? How can we look for something more? How can our acceptance of this Truth-- who is Jesus-- not be so obvious in our lives that convicting us of "Christianity" would be a simple matter for any prosecutor? Would you be convicted?
