Too often, the people in the bible become superheroes, magical creatures who do what is right with God's help. But authors like John MacArthur show us that they were real people who had real struggles and that they weren't much different from us today.
We always give the disciples grief for having so little faith. But if a man came to you today and said that he was the bread of life would you believe him. And if you didn't believe him at first when would you start? When he turned water into wine? When he fed the multitudes? When he calmed the seas? When he raised the dead?
In truth, it took the resurrection to change their lives. The resurrection is changing lives still.
