John 20 21/21 challenge

In John 20 verse 19 we see an amazing moment take place.
Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."
Here are these disciples dripping in fear, hiding behind locked doors and Here come Jesus entering the room somehow…Could you imagine how quickly the disciples moods must have changed. In a split second they went from reeking with the smell of fear to being face to face with their Risen Lord, wow, how powerful.
Another piece of this passage that is interesting is found in the scripture that reads, “And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name..”
John quickly admits upfront that in his journaling he provides an incomplete collection of things that Jesus did. In fact Jesus did a great deal more that was never recorded.

Could you imagine how large the Bible would be if everything Jesus did was recorded?
