Epilogue: Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples

24 This disciple is the one who testifies to these events and has recorded them here. And we know that his account of these things is accurate.

25 Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.

‘The Gospel According to John’ is the apostle John’s testimony to the events to which he an eye witness. About his testimony, John says it “…is accurate.” If John was a witness in a court room, he would lay his hand on the Bible and swear to the truth of his testimony.

But what John is quick to add is that it is not the whole truth. He confesses that he has only recorded a portion of the things he witnessed.

There is more to this Jesus than is captured on written pages. Think about it. What is your story? How has Jesus touched your life? Is your testimony published in a book? Most of us would answer ‘no’ … confirming the truth of John’s final statement. The world could not contain all the books … of all the testimonies … of all the people … Jesus has touched.
