A gentle note of some of the many things that I did not know about. Yet, now, I know some of those things.

I am not one who denies the existence of someone named Jesus, a historical figure who may have had a profound effect on the people who he came into contact with. I just leave out the claims of being more than human. But, hey. That is what I do. You do you.

John 18 gleaned from NIV
18:4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”
18:5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.
“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 18:6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
18:7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.
18:8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 18:9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
