I have just started reading through the gospel according to John and so far I have read the first seven chapters four times now from John 1:1 to John 7:53.
It is such a loaded text that tracks the discourses between Jesus and the people and the disciples and the Pharisees. Of course there is the small detour into the land of the Samaritans and the power of the ministry of the word that happened there.
Reading through it the way I have done and trying to take it all in, I have am just amazed at it all, the love of Christ, his purpose, his disdain for error, his desire to please the Father that I found myself singing Jesus loves me this I know in the Yoruba language.
I know something about this text triggered it. I know I have not attempted to sing that song in Yoruba in years and then just a few days of reading this account history is triggered.
The word of God brings life and like Peter said in Chapter 6, we have believed and have come to know you that you are the Holy One of God.
