Proof Enough?

But although he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him.
John 12:37
They always wanted a sign, but they never paid attention to the burden of proof being offered them that Jesus really was the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

He turned water into wine, walked on water, calmed the wind and waves, fed five thousand folks with five loaves and two fish, four thousand more with seven loaves and a few small fish. When Peter repeatedly fished all night without catching anything, Jesus repeatedly told him where he could cast his nets for a sure haul. He healed countless blind, deaf, mute and lame. He cleansed lepers with a touch and healed the dying with a word from afar. He raised the son of the widow of Nain, the daughter of Jairus, and poor Lazarus from the dead. There was nothing he could not do, yet still they did not believe.

And in spite of all the wonderful things He continues to do, still there are those who do not believe.

The proof is overwhelming that Jesus was resurrected from the dead, that he ascended to heaven, and that he is coming back. Hopefully it won't be his return that convinces you...by then it will be too late to believe.
