Evil Sign Seeking

Luke 11:29-30 
29 And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 30 For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

Instead of looking for the miracles Jesus could do, the people should have been listening to the words of repentance and faith that lead to never ending life in the Son of God and man.  The sign then given was like Jonah for repentance, except the 3 days with Jesus were in the grave (not a fish) before coming to life again. The just will live by faith - not only find eternal life, but live in a daily walk by that same grace by faith with daily repentance (1 John 1:9).
