Tonight I read the last chapter of John, which is the last chapter of the ministry of Christ while he was on the earth. I found two things very interesting in this chapter-
1. Why did Jesus repeatedly ask Peter to "feed his sheep"? And why was that the last thing he wanted to tell Peter before he left? I personally think this shows how important it is to share the gospel. If Christ repeated it to his apostle 3 times, and also saved that for the last words of wisdom to give, it must be important. It makes me want to be a better missionary.
2. The last verse of this chapter is amazing. "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the whick, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." It's humbling to know that Christ already did so much for us, but there is also an uncomprehendable amount of works he did that we do not know about, just because there is no rom to write it. But it makes perfect sense to me, how can you limit to just a few books of scripture the teachings and workings of the man who is the redeemer of all mankind.
It really makes you think.
