John 21:25
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
------------------------------------------------
Born in 1970, I am part of this world for 40 years already. Finished college in 1992 and got a job in the same year. Got married in 1994 and have 2 kids. Working now with a multinational company, have a house, a car and some liabilities. That’s it!
But are those the things God will ask for if I meet Him face to face in Heaven? Would having finished college assures me of being in Heaven forever? And come to think about it, my life’s autobiography would maybe just about 150 pages, more or less, including the table of contents, biography, prologue and epilogue.
Jesus lived for only 33 years and yet the gospel of John proclaims that His life was so rich and colorful that “if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.” You may say that it was just a figure of speech, but hey, remember that Jesus has been with God since the beginning of time.
And in His three years of public ministry, He has achieved what no other man has done – to die and be resurrected, all for the glory of God and for our salvation. It may be one book or a worldful of books. It doesn’t matter anymore. What matters now is that Jesus has really made a lasting change in the lives of many – including you and me.
If someone would write a book about your life, would it be as interesting? Would it be focusing on the wordly things that you achieved, or would the pages be focusing more on the lives that you saved because of Him?
Rewrite the pages of your life. Rewrite it now with the Lord as the author.
Lord Jesus, you came that we might have life, and have it abundantly. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I ask You to forgive me and to come into my life right now. Amen+
The just will gaze on your face, O Lord.
