As the Gospel of John comes to a close, John says in chapter 21, verse 25, “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Where every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” We have spent the first five months of 2012 walking through the Gospels, the written accounts of the life of Jesus. And John closes by telling us there is too much to write. There are not enough books in the whole world that could contain the scope and events of the life of Jesus. We are reading to embed the Bible in our lives. The promise of Jesus is the promise to fill us with His presence and with His purpose. There is more than enough of Jesus to fill us to overflowing. We are books that carry the word of God written large on our days and in our moments. The world should be able to see the story of Jesus in the lives we lead.
