How can John 20:30 inspire us to share Jesus' works with others? Introducing the Verse “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.” (John 20:30) Seeing the Awesome Overflow of Jesus’ Works • John admits he ran out of space before he ran out of stories. • The statement is literal: countless miracles happened in real time, witnessed by real disciples. • If so much remains unrecorded, the Lord’s power and compassion are even greater than the written record already shows. • That surplus reminds us: Heaven’s library is still being stocked, and our testimonies add fresh chapters. The Verse’s Built-In Invitation to Testify • A blank page remains—God intends believers to fill it with firsthand reports. • We are linked to the original eyewitnesses; their mission becomes ours (John 17:20). • Knowing Scripture is historically true emboldens us: we are not sharing speculation but facts. • Each conversation about Christ is a “sign” inserted into another person’s life. Scriptures That Echo the Call • John 21:25 – “There are also many other things that Jesus did … the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” • Acts 1:8 – “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses.” • 1 John 1:1-3 – “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also.” • Psalm 105:1 – “Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.” • Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Practical Ways to Share Jesus’ Works Today 1. Tell Your Story • Describe how Christ saved you or answered prayer—your life becomes a modern “sign.” 2. Highlight Scripture’s Miracles • Bring up a Gospel account when friends face sickness, fear, or loss; Scripture’s record sparks hope. 3. Use Today’s Platforms • Short testimony videos, social media posts, letters, texts—each medium extends the Book’s reach. 4. Serve Tangibly • Acts of compassion mirror Jesus’ signs of healing and provision, giving credibility to spoken words. 5. Link Every Good Gift to Christ • When blessings come, openly credit the Lord; people connect the miracle to the Miracle Worker. Encouragement for the Week John 20:30 assures us the story of Jesus is larger than any volume can contain—and God has trusted you to help broadcast it. Step into conversations, acts of kindness, and digital spaces knowing you are continuing the inspired, literal record of the risen Savior’s mighty works. |
