Matthew 16:1-4
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
Some will look and even demand God give them a visible sign so they can say they have the ability to understand Him, like the "red sky at night, sailors delight" saying we still have. But Jesus demands we trust Him and take Him at His word, not demanding proof so we can only intellectually get the gospel. We have the sign of Jesus rising from the dead - how do we reason what we can only accept as true because He said and did so?
