The Proof is Sufficient

Jesus teaches that the proof he has offered as to his identity has been sufficient... so soak it up.

Matthew 12:38-42 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you." 39 But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so for three days and three nights the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth. 41 The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here! 42 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here!

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that the evidence of his identity is sufficient?

Note:  The sign of Jonah was this:  Jonah was a prototype of the Christ.  He was sent by God to preach repentance and then he acted out a death and resurrection as he was eaten by a whale and then spit out. Jesus was saying... "you will have a sign too...  I too am preaching repentance, I will die and be raised again."  BUT the people Jonah preached to heard his message.  Jesus is telling the Pharisees that they will not hear it.  Likewise, the Queen of the South (Queen of Sheba) came to Solomon because he was wise - to get his advice.  The Pharisee's should be coming to Jesus for the same reason.  Again, Jesus is telling them they should be listening to him with the same intensity that the Queen of the South sought out and listened to Solomon.
