Good morning,
Recently Jimmy told of his wonderful experiences reading The Jerusalem Council book. He provoked me to jealously! Something he said struck my heart that day. Jimmy said he gave God the purest part of him, first thing in the morning. I love that. I have always loved starting my day with Jesus, getting up early before work to do that.
At some point, I began to check the phone when waking up and when I heard Jimmy say that, I thought about the junk and strife you cannot unsee or feel after you have taken it in.
I have been reading The Jerusalem Council and starting my day with Jesus. One thing I have loved is reading the scriptures. I appreciate all the love and work that has been given to us, laid out before us. Hard to dig when the gold is at the end of your shovel!
I do not know the bible/scriptures like I want to. I have been praying as I go for Jesus to help me learn and to remember. I do have a question.
Can you explain what 1John, 2John, 3John are? I mean that there is the gospel of John, and then there is 1John, 2John, 3John.

HI Beth.
The gospel of John is one of the four stories of Jesus’ life that God has given us: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The other three, 1John, 2John, 3John, are letters John wrote to saints in his time, just as Paul wrote letters to saints in various places. John’s letters are very short because, as John himself said, he would rather talk face to face than to communicate with paper and ink (2Jn. 1:12; 3Jn. 1:13).
Hope that answers your question.
