Luke 11:27-36

The people who are really blessed -- Luke 11:27-36: People talked to Jesus about who was really blessed. Jesus got right to the point and said, "Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. (Luke 11:28) The people asked Jesus for a sign from heaven. He gave Jonah as a sign, "For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation." The people repented at the preaching of Jonah. He also gave them the sign of the Queen of the South. "The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Jesus would give a sign that would not be hidden. He spoke of His death, burial and resurrection. Jesus corrected the sight of the Jews so they could see clearly what is important. Their sins made it impossible for them to see the truth about God's signs. This was an evil generation which confronted Jesus.
