The problem of the generation of Jesus time is the same problem that this generation still labors under. What is that problem? It is a profound capacity to mis-interpret the truth that is before us. This is due to the inability to see the world beyond the narrow confines of the prideful ego. As a result, many still respond to Jesus challenges with indifference and contempt. The generation of Jesus time used the differences between the ways John the Baptist lived and the ways that Jesus lived as an excuse to not listen to him. They saw only the outward difference, and missed the deeper meaning of both lives. They used it as an excuse to be either indifferent to Jesus and his message, or as reason to despise and condemn them both.
