A Greater Than Jonas Is Here (Luke 11:32)

2023-12-22

The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Luke 11:32)

Jesus used two historical examples of prophets that arose and people responded. The first was Jonah, who preached in Nineveh, and the people turned to the Lord and forsook their evil way. The second was the Queen of Sheba, who came from afar to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Jesus, who far exceeds the splendor of Jonah and Solomon, came, but His generation largely rejected Him. This shows the evilness of that generation.

Today, our generation will seek the wisdom of the world far more than the wisdom of our Lord. With all the information available today that demonstrates the veracity of the Scriptures and the resurrection of our Lord, there is no excuse for repenting and believing the Gospel.
