An angry Jesus speaks to the crowds and to us, warning us that seeking a sign leads nowhere. How tempted we are to look for a sign of relief from the natural disasters of the past month, even the past week; or a sign of deliverance and peace from the threats inside and outside of the United States. No sign appears, and as Jesus said, "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." (Lk 11:20-30). Jesus, the Son of Man is the SIGN...the something, someone greater, to whom we are to look. For some, this is too simple; they want something more spectacular. Not going to happen. Wasn't the Incarnation enough? God becoming Man? Or the Resurrection? Jesus rising from the dead and returning to the right hand of the Father? May our hearts and minds be open to this "sign" and look nowhere else for another.
