“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”~ Jn. 21:25
One of the meanings of the word “condense” is “to reduce to a shorter form; compact.” The Bible is a condensed Book. It does not tell the whole in any of its character’s biographies. Abraham, Joseph, Esther, Paul, Mary—nowhere will you find a daily, detailed account of their lives, nor of anyone else’s. Even of our blessed Lord, John tells us in his Gospel, (see above text).
Because of the misguided teaching of the “over-zealous,” or a misunderstanding of the Bible’s purpose, many have become condensed Christians. Bible Christians were not always at church and doing “spiritual” things. They changed diapers, cleaned house, played with the children, went to the store, etc. As a friend put it in an article recently, “Life is what you do when you don’t have anything else to do.” Or, to put it another way, take time to smell the flowers.
Life is a marathon, not a hundred-yard dash.
