During one of Jesus' visits to Jerusalem for the Passover, many people saw the miracles he did and wanted to follow him. But Johns gospel records the following: 'But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. He did not need any...
It's easy to understand why people struggle with the idea of there being apostles. I think we are all wrestling with it, because it is what it means that we are wrestling with. For some, the wrestle is with the supernatural. Nobody today seems to have...
