I am also enjoying the book of John

How far have you got? I’m currently enjoying these middle chapters 5-8, where Jesus is teaching / debating with the people. I’m realising how little I’ve read this part, compared to the more familiar sections.

I am up to chapter 15

you can see I have commented from both of my accounts

I love those chapters 5-8 also but ... what to say :) I love all of the Gospel of John. It's going to take a lifetime to adequately cover all of it. But I'm glad you're enjoying 5-8 PeterP :)

Actually, I’m enjoying the whole gospel too! I’ve tackled it in a fairly strange order, for no particular reason… the first chapter I learned was 15, some years ago, then I gradually added 10-14, then 16-21, and now for the past year or more I’ve been working on chapters 1-9. So I’ve just got 8 and 9 to start now, and I’ll have started the whole gospel. But none of the chapters are 100% learnt yet, so I’ll be enjoying reviewing John for many more years, I reckon!

it's a good attitude. We have a lifetime to grow closer and closer to the Lord by studying and memorising His Word. None of us has arrived or can sit on their laurels, so to speak :) What I'm lacking in the Gospel of John is chapters 17-21. While I've certainly read that portion many times over the years, I've never worked on those specific verses here in this format :)

And congratulations from me too! God bless you.

Congratulations! It’s satisfying to reach 100% in the end. God bless you!

Congratulations from me too! It’s rather satisfying when you start getting verses to 100%.

Congratulations! May God bless you as you learn and meditate each day.

And I too was struck by how similar is the language in those verses in Chronicles to the words of Moses to the people when they were about to cross the Red Sea. “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord […] The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (Ex 14:13-14)

Thank you both for sharing. It’s truly a pleasure to read this thread, ‘listening’ to two people who are so deeply committed to knowing the Bible and living in the presence of God.

Good to see you still going strong! God bless you!

Awesome! God bless you!

Congratulations! May God bless you as you continue to learn his word.

Congratulations! God bless you!

That’s an amazing achievement! Congratulations and may God bless you as you learn his word so consistently.

Congratulations! That’s a great milestone to reach. God bless you!

I pray that the Lord will be with you, Saintman, and that the Holy Spirit will bring healing to your body and peace to your mind.

I agree! That’s a great achievement. God bless you!

I like the way those verses go together!

That’s a fantastic achievement! Congratulations, and God bless you!

Congratulations! And thanks too for your encouragement on my wall this morning. May God bless you as you master the next hundred verses!

Glad to hear your health is better. I’d say it’s good to find a balance between studying the Bible (with reference texts etc) and reading the Bible (I especially like the Lectio Divina approach) and learning passages from the Bible (using LearnScripture). I pray that God will lead you in the way that’s right for you.

Congratulations from me too.
I’m also intrigued: your chart shows extraordinary consistency reviewing 60-70 verses each day, and a marked change from the beginning of January. Did you set yourself a new-year resolution?

Thank you, Joosep, Goodnews and Saintman. I’m literally taking my first sip of tea as I read your comments. Now on to today’s review verses…

That’s very impressive, to encourage so many others to join in!

Congratulations, PeterP, on all of your diligent work in reaching 60 million! That represents a lot tea having been brewed before you begin your time of study. For me it represents a lot of coffee :)

Well done Peter. May God grow what has been sown into your life from His Word.

Good work Peter. Keep it up!

Thank you, Joosep, Goodnews and Saintman. I’m literally taking my first sip of tea as I read your comments. Now on to today’s review verses…

nice to hear :)

Wow - encouraging to see your diligence!

Congratulations! That’s a satisfying reward, after a year or so of reviewing. God bless you.
