The Best for Last (John 21)

One of my favorite verses in John has always been the last one. John 21:25 says: "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." Books were not small in John's day. They couldn't fit on a CD or be stored on the Internet. But still, books weren't the largest thing around either. A world full of books would contain a lot of books. At the end of John's Gospel, John reminds us that we can always learn more about Jesus. There is more to learn about Jesus' work in history, and there is more to learn about Jesus' work in present. May I never think that I have arrived in my knowledge of Jesus.
