The blessing of Jesus' contemporaries seeing and hearing what many people in the past had longed to see and hear might seem to indicate that those past righteous people got cheated. Maybe we in our day of fewer miracles and second-hand teaching are also left with unmet desires. But It seems that Jesus places importance on the choice, available to all, to want deeply what only he can do. (Matthew 13:16-17)
