John was the "beloved" disciple of Jesus. And in closing his Gospel, John tells us that he witnessed Jesus doing so many miracles that if they were written down, the world would not be big enough to contain the books that would need to have been written.
The biggest thing Jesus did for you and I was to come to earth and to die on that Cross of Calvary and to take our sins with Him and be punished for them.
Jesus' disciples all witnessed the many many miracles of Jesus. But most of all, they witnessed his death and resurrection.
They all, with the exception of John and Judas Iscariot died for their belief in Jesus.
Now that is evidence of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus. No man would die for a lie. Without exception, facing death, they would renounce their lies. But the disciples knew that Jesus is the Messiah.
How blessed are we today that we are not being called to die for our faith. It may yet still happen but as it stands now, we are free to believe in Jesus. I thank GOD for this.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that I am free to know Jesus. I thank YOU that Jesus is my Redeemer. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully Jesus blessed today!
