To Embrace or Reject?
John 21:20 “. . . the disciple whom Jesus loved . . .” One of the thoughts that I had as I reflected on John’s description of himself in the phrase from John 21:20 above, was that although this was an expression that was unique to the apostle John, it could have been used by…

Exaggeration?
John 21:25 “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” Exaggeration: it’s something that all of us are prone to if the truth be told.
