I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to Unashamed. We're finally getting back to our study today in the book of John. And Jason, it was funny because I was at an event recently and I was signing books. And so, you know, we've written a few different books and I've contributed to other ones. So I've always tried to come up with like a unique verse for every book.
You know, the kind of whatever the verse is I write. Kind of fits the theme of the book, you know? And so problem is when you write several books, you sometimes forget what the verse is for the right book. So it causes me to have to think a second before I do it. And so I was telling this guy, we were saying, we have a book called desperate forgiveness.
And so I found this verse in Luke 747 where the woman is at Jesus' feet, and he looks at her, looks at Simon, who's judging her, the Pharisee, and he says, to the one who has been forgiven much, they will love much. And so that's Luke 747. So that was what I was going to sign in the book. But when we first came out with the book, I was signing John.
Just, you know, one little, yeah, I want you to look it up because it has quite a different message than Luke 747. So what does it say? John 747. It says, you mean he has deceived you also? The Pharisee retorted, which I don't know retorted is even in the Bible anywhere with this verse. So I did it for several books and nobody ever said anything. I never heard back from anybody.
And this book was new. And then finally, our old friend, Bob DeMoss, Sent me a note and said, hey, congrats on your new book. And he said, what did you mean, though, the reference in John 747? He has deceived you as well, which was so funny. And I was just laughing. I was like, oh, man. So I texted him back. I said, what do you think I meant by that? How many people got that? Probably 300 people.
So I'm sure someone... Oh, you've wrecked.
I'm sure someone... 300 people out there just wrecked because they're thinking, what have I done?
Someone out there in the understanding of the nation. But Alex sent me this. So this happened to someone else. This was someone who... was asked to read a text at a wedding. I thought it was appropriate since we're in the book of John. And the text this person was supposed to read is 1 John 4, 18, which says, There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.
For fear has to do with punishment. Whoever fears has not been perfected in love. And so that's the verse they were supposed to read. Well, what they actually read was John... 418, which again had quite the different meaning. James, you want to read John 418? So not the perfect love. Instead, read it, James.
