The last few words

But there are many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. John 21:25, NRSVue

There are so many other things Jesus did. If they were all written down, each of them, one by one, I can’t imagine a world big enough to hold such a library of books. John 21:25, The Message

Jesus lived into his early to mid thirties. If every single thing he did while walking this earth were written down, I’d wager it would take up the shelves of a fairly large library. But I doubt the books would be so many that the world couldn’t contain them. Until I think about it.

God With Us dwelled in the person of Jesus, living a fully human life but not limited to a single life span. Jesus lives on in everyone who feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, and visits the sick and lonely. Jesus lives on in you, and Jesus lives on in me, so the stories continue in our stories. What we do, who we are, those we love and serve continue the story.

So let’s go add a few chapters.
