After His transfiguration, Jesus knew that His return to heaven was near. It was entirely human for Him to express frustration with those who failed to listen and follow Him, including His closest followers. Jesus had a message for a church in Revelation 3:1-2. "I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” God wants our faith to be alive, growing and thriving, not dormant or shrinking!
