25 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. (John 21)
John had been selective in his writing of this gospel. He chose certain teachings, miracles, and relationships Jesus had to focus in on. Though he had been with Him from the beginning of His ministry, and was there for every intimate encounter, John realized He was not witness to everything Jesus did or said. There was everything He did and said in His first thirty years on earth, as well as all the mighty deeds He did and truth He spoke as the Word since eternity past. Much too much for a brief biography. Jesus is bigger than life, bigger than the world. This gospel was written precisely so we would dig and find out more. Start with John. God from there. Dig for treasure.
