Sign. Let’s believe the word of Jesus.
Cards. Fortune-tellers… and their ilk have success with the stupid, until time. God is eternal. What we don’t know, and it’s good that we don’t know.
In the Gospel, we hear the harsh words of Jesus Christ: “This generation is an evil generation. He asks for a sign, but he does not receive a sign…” (Lk 11:29). He speaks them to those who have hard hearts and refuse to believe him, that his testimony is much more powerful and convincing than anyone before him. When we want to convey these words of the Lord to the present day, it is first necessary to know that in the time of Jesus, unbelief did not mean denying God’s existence. Everyone believed in God, the Pharisees, and the scribes. Instead, unbelief meant unwillingness to accept that God speaks through Jesus Christ – there was a rejection of God’s voice. In today’s situation, disbelief means atheism, denying God and his existence.
In addition, Jesus says that at the last judgment, our generation will be confronted with the generations that lived in the past long before us. In the ancient past, these were not shadows and bones but lived close to God’s goal. One day, they will look us in the eye and ask how we handled their legacy. Let’s imagine how many generations sold faith in Christ before it reached us at the beginning of the third millennium. Although our ancestors had a difficult life, they knew the most valuable heritage and wealth that must be sold to children and preserved under all circumstances. Nowadays, we have to ask ourselves: Aren’t we the generation in the nation’s history that failed to sell faith in Christ to its own generation? What’s more, isn’t it true of this generation that it has lost its faith? Can this generation be converted and renewed?!
The worst is dull indifference, emptiness, inability, and unwillingness to ask and try to catch God’s voice in the heart. Such serious reflection opens God’s word in us today so that we realize with deadly seriousness what is expected of those who understand, hear, and believe. Let’s ask God to help us find an answer worthy of God.
