The Life of Jesus

Scripture:

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".

Observation:

John lets us know very clearly at the end of his gospel that he only recorded a small fraction of the things Jesus did while on the earth.  He lets us know that Jesus did many other things as well.  There apparently were tons of lives touched, healed, delivered, etc. which are not recorded in our gospels.  Jesus did a huge amount of building His Father's Kingdom in a short while on earth.

Application:

As followers of Christ, our lives should reflect His.  Volumes should not be able to hold the things that God does through our lives.  If Christ is in us, then we should have lots of stories to tell of how God worked through our lives.  Each day should be filled with wonderful stories of God's amazing power and grace.  We should be living lives that are worth Christ dying for.

Prayer:

Lord, let my life be filled with wonderful stories of Kingdom Expansion.  Let my life story be more like Yours.  Help me to live like Jesus, doing what He saw the Father doing and speaking what He heard the Father speak.  Let my life fill books with great stories of my amazing God.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
