It took me some time, but I finally read the entire Bible in 2021 (on my Bible app, no less!) and was amazed by what I read. Although I was raised going to chuch and reading many verses, there was something so very different about reading it in its entirety to me. So many verses that were profoundly meaningful to me but had been, at least up until that time, undiscovered to me, were incredibly impactful. Not least the one you quoted from John ~

“Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.”¹

Talk about being blown away! Not only did I realize what I had missed by not reading the Bible completely, but also the fact that there were so many other things that Jesus did in his short lifetime that John couldn't have even possibly recorded, they were so vast and many.

This is what I love the most about reading the Bible with abandon ~ there is so much undiscovered country there, just waiting to be discovered and applied to our lives NOW! Thank you for this post, Randy! I found it very meaningful, especially as a lifelong book lover. :)
