Stryper played a show in Austin last night. Twas really good. I'll hope to have a review posted online later today (with photos).
In John 16 Jesus is having one of His final talks with His disciples before He faces death and the cross. It's amazing how wise this man Jesus was. He was equating the grief the disciples would feel at His death to that grief that a woman has during childbirth, but then the pain is forgotten after the baby arrives. He was alluding to the joy His resurrection would bring. He spoke so eloquently and touched on the major areas of life. What a master.
The disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech. Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God."
Jesus replied, "You believe at last!" That is so funny, yet so cool that they did "get it" after all. It must've been rewarding for Him to see that. It was about time, though.
