Great scripture Scotty! We may not see as John and the other apostles saw, but we still get to see his glory today. Thanks for the reminder.
John was very close to Jesus and Jesus entrusted him with a lot of responsibilties and duties. I can see this verse as a verse of praise and adoration coming from John for all that Jesus showed to him and the other apostles. He knew all he was accomplishing was through Jesus and you can see it was very clear to him. Thanks for the post.
Great post, Scott! I love the use of definitions because we can all to easily speed read right on through the scriptures and not understand the words we just read. So scary!
