An Incomplete Biography

“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. (John 21:25)

God has chosen to give us all we need to know of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we speculate and add to it we are adding to the Bible, something that is prohibited. There are those who have “manufactured” things that Jesus may have done during the eighteen years between the ages of twelve and thirty. It would be sheer guesswork to add anything to the life of Jesus in the four gospels.

When Paul and Silas were in jail in Philippi they were asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” The message was a simple answer, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved.” He was to believe on the same Jesus for salvation that we must trust. He is the complete Savior, just as He is, with nothing else needed to be added.
