JOHN 21:25

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

TO PONDER

In my humble opinion, the verse for today is the best finishing line of any of the gospel accounts of scripture. What it does is it almost allows us to become part of those 'other things' that Jesus did as well. I mean let's be honest, it is the life, death and resurrection of Jesus that makes us Christians who we are today. Our faith in him is something he has given, something he has called us to, by His Spirit and by His Word. And what's even more incredible is that Jesus is still at work in and through us doing things in the world today.

Despite our lack of training or preparedness, despite our tendency toward sin and rebellion, despite our own fears and concerns Jesus is at work in and through us still doing tings that we can notice. Still giving us encounters and stories of him which we carshare with others. They may not be written down in the canon of scripture, but that doesn't mean Jesus is not the one behind them. It doesn't mean we should not share them.

So what are some of the things you have seen Jesus do in your life or in the lives of others? Who have you told, How have you shared and proclaimed the might deeds of the Lord our God?!

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, please help me to remember you are still doing things. Not only do you work via your Spirit in the hearts and lives of your people but you intercede for us before the Father as our great high priest. May I never cease to be amazed at all you do and all you have done for me. Amen
