The result is that we think Jesus’ life as well as that of the disciples were filled with one exciting event after another. Maybe if the gospel writers had instead given us a daily log of activities, we would have found that there were days and maybe even weeks when nothing much happened. Maybe there were days when life for them seemed pretty hum drum.<br /><br />Jesus had a physical body subject to all of the limitations we have. No human body is able to sustain a constant life of excitement and adrenaline rush. I really suspect that daily life for him and his disciples consisted primarily of relationship building with an occasional miracle thrown in.Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-3672456268388459162009-06-09T11:07:15.454-07:002009-06-09T11:07:15.454-07:00Encouraging post, Matthew!

For a long time I lived with a constant worry and an unfulfilled hope that there would finally come this time in life when I would always be "feeling" the presence and wonder of this awesome God. Because of all the faulty pentecostal junk that was being preached all the time (I'm not saying that all pentecostal teaching is junk... just a lot of the stuff I happened to be under), I was in search of experiences and feelings that would "confirm" the presence and power of God.<br /><br />"Blessed are those who have not seen, yet have believed" has taken on a lot of meaning in my life. What kind of faith is it if I have to <I>see</I> in order to believe?Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087443128769701074.post-5235919141118236842009-06-01T14:01:21.006-07:002009-06-01T14:01:21.006-07:00Matthew,
