Dear Explorer,
Read John 21:24-25
John probably used several scribes to record what he wrote about his time with Jesus. I believe that these verses represent a legal statement like what we use today on legal papers.
I could end my book by saying, “I, Dale Weatherford, have recorded this book. Everything that I've said is true and the following people will testify that I am of sound mind and am truthful. Then my witnesses would sign the document.
I believe that the group of scribes wrote this next-to-last verse as a statement signifying that they believed John to be an honest man.
But now let's look at John's final statement. No book will ever be written that will tell everything that Jesus did and taught while on this earth. Then he says if they had tried, there would not be enough room on earth to contain the books. Wow!
As we come to the close of our study time together, I know that your study of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have been beneficial to you. How do I know?
Read Isaiah 55:11
Because no study or reading of God's Word is wasted.
I hope that I have encouraged you to dig deeper and seek truth and most of all I pray that you will choose to follow Jesus more obediently because of our time together.
In His service, dale
