I read 1 Kings 12 (archived audio) Rehoboam asked both the elders (who served his father) and his buddies for advice, and chose to follow the harsh advice of his friends, and it turned out very badly. I also read Matthew 27:27-28:20 (Immerse audio for week 12, day 60) Jesus was mocked and ridiculed, died and then rose again, despite efforts to keep Him in the tomb with guards and a large stone. then Jesus appeared and instructed His disciples to continue the ministry and share the good news with the world.
