John 21:20-25

20-21Turning his head, Peter noticed the disciple Jesus loved following right behind. When Peter noticed him, he asked Jesus, "Master, what's going to happen to him?"

22-23Jesus said, "If I want him to live until I come again, what's that to you? You—follow me." That is how the rumor got out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn't die. But that is not what Jesus said. He simply said, "If I want him to live until I come again, what's that to you?"

24This is the same disciple who was eyewitness to all these things and wrote them down. And we all know that his eyewitness account is reliable and accurate.

25There are so many other things Jesus did. If they were all written down, each of them, one by one, I can't imagine a world big enough to hold such a library of books.

*************

Isn't that exactly what we believe? That Christ is so much bigger than what we conceive, and yet even this Christ was not too big to come to earth, to hear our individual thoughts and prayers, and abide with us. No matter how big God is, we are not lost in the crowd. This is the Jesus who, in the midst of a giant crowd, turns and speaks to the bleeding woman who touched the hem of his cloak. This is the Jesus who, even when he was busy dying on the cross, was not too busy to save a thief. This is the Jesus who is with us now, each and every day.
