so much to say

Oh, wow. I think today is writing day. I can think of five or six topics I want to write about...so today will be a day of many posts!

This just makes me think of what John said in his gospel - "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written." (John 21:25, NASB) I love that he says that - acknowledges it. If, even over a couple of days or a couple of weeks, I can't keep up just writing my thoughts down...oh, it just gives a glimpse of all Jesus must have done and said and thought on this earth. The Gospels are but a limited account; really what they mean to convey is immeasurable, and insurmountable in words. I think that if I kept this perspective in mind as I read the Gospels, it would make them come alive so much more. I used to take them at face value and hardly use my imagination. I don't mean the Gospels are insufficient, or that we should take liberties at interpretation, but we have to work with the matter, especially in this day and age and culture and language. We have to work to understand just all God did for us when He sent Jesus. It's huge! How often do we even start to grasp it?

He didn't just send us one book; He sent us the equivalent of a library that wouldn't even fit on this earth.
