Petals from the Basket

The Library Is Too Little

After John “reveals” at the end of John 21 that he is the one referred to throughout the book as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” he ends his “summary” of Christ’s life perfectly:

“And there were also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.” (John 21:25, NASB)

Wow! Stop and think about that: His amazing love and His incomprehensible acts of mercy and grace need a galaxy-sized library—and more!

Daily, Christ did those things for one purpose: to glorify His Father.

In my desire to follow my month-long theme and give “all of me” to that same holy God, I could have no greater example than Jesus.

Thank you for joining me on my journey through the Book of John in preparation for and celebration of Resurrection Sunday. It’s been eye-opening, tear-producing, joy-giving, and heart-touching. My greatest prayer, however, is that it will be life-changing.

Lord, “all of me” becomes more than a motto or a slogan when I see how Christ gave His all for me. Please strengthen my resolve to be like Christ in every thought, word, and action today—and in all the days to come!
