Jesus Is Enough (Luke 11:29-32) - 1/14/24

INTRO

• When the crowds were increasing… popularity is growing, but for the wrong reasons.

• Earlier v. 16… they needed more. Show us a sign.

• Faith was not enough, they needed more.

• Also continuing the idea of true blessedness… hearing and obeying.

• Faith, Hearing, and Believing is enough.

• WHY DO WE NEED MORE? (show us a sign)
  

THE ARROGANCE OF UNBELIEF

Evil generation

• These were the religious of society. Well thought of in society.

• YET, they were sinners Ephesians 2:1

• Today… all without the hope of the Gospel

• The unconverted. Dead in our sins

Seeks a sign

• Not a particular sign… just show me more.

• Prove it to me.

• Arrogance rather than humility

• The truly supernatural is standing before them, but they want more.

None will be given

• You have been shown enough

• Nothing MORE will be revealed.

• Jesus is enough!
  

THE SIGN OF UNBELIEF

Luke 16:31

• He had already performed many miracles to this point.

• There was not enough proof for their hardened hearts

Jonah

• His ministry as prophet

• His preaching of judgement

• His call for repentance

Son of Man to this generation

• Death, Burial, and Resurrections
  

THE REALITY OF JUDGEMENT

Queen of the South

• 1 King 10:1-10

• She came seeking wisdom from Solomon (seeking truth)

• Jesus is much wiser than Solomon

Men of Nineveh

• They responded to Jonah’s message of repentance

• Jesus is greater than Jonah

What Now?

• We have heard, yet we fail to believe.

• We hear, yet we fail to obey.

• It is a great picture of arrogance verse humility.

• The hardened says “convince me.”  A receptive heart cries out “save me”

• JESUS IS ENOUGH!
