We have plenty of prophets in our days too, appealing to us to trust in God, to turn back to Him and to exercise mercy and compassion for the suffering and those in want.  Yet, we still do not listen or are moved. Indeed, what we need is humility to listen to God’s word.  This explains why Abraham said, “If they will not listen either to Moses or to the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead.”  What we need is humility and faith, otherwise even the resurrection of Christ cannot convince anyone.
