'We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright!' (1 Corinthians 13:12, The Message).
Many of us have experienced times in life when the path ahead seems foggy, God seems to be silent and doubts crowd out our hope and joy. We may even feel like we have to suppress these 'negative' thoughts and feelings.
After Jesus' resurrection, the disciples were still coming to grips with what they had seen and heard as well as feelings of confusion, doubt and shame. Jesus met with them where they were, both physically and emotionally, talked with them, ate with them and gently restored them.
Jeff unpacks the biblical account of Jesus meeting with the disciples on the beach at Galilee and also shares his own struggles with doubts and depression. He comes to realise that while sometimes there are no easy answers, the knowledge of God's love and faith in His Word helps us to keep going until He returns.
