Utter Frustration

What's the most frustrating thing on your life?

Dating? Paying bills? Waiting in line at the grocery store or trying to renew a license at the DMV? Working with your current boss and co-workers, and trying to make at least one of them see your point of view?

Or is the most frustrating thing trying to explain Why YOUR FEELINGS Matter to your significant other?

But then, what if you'd been one of the 11 disciples who saw Christ raised from the dead ... and tried to explain and convince others of what you had seen?




That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
1 John 1:1

We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
- 2 Peter 2:16-18

I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.
- John 3:11
