You may have caught yourself asking the question, “Is this it? Is this all there is?” What you hoped would bring you true satisfaction hasn’t turned out the way you believed it would. You have begun to lose hope. Those same feelings can be seen in the lives of Jesus’ disciples. But then something happened that brought them out of deep discouragement. It radically change their lives, their perspective, convictions and give them a renewed hope. That something was nothing less than personally encountering the resurrected Jesus Christ.
