Someone recently used this passage in another thread and it got me thinking.
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (Joh 21:25).
Just think if we were to rely on oral tradition rather than what God in His mercy had had written down for our learning and edification?
We don't have a scintilla of all the 'other things' which Jesus did ...and that info would have filled the world and then some.
So just think what would have happened if the apostles had not had their eye witness accounts WRITTEN down.
This sliver of light we have in His written Word may be small in comparison to all that Jesus did while on earth...but it is a SURE WORD.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
(2Pe 1:19)
