Give me DETAILS!

Am I the only one that gets frustrated by the Biblical accounts of Jesus' life? There are so many places where it states "and He taught the people many things". WHAT THINGS? I want to know what He said! He was a great and respected teacher, so why can't they let us in on His teachings, all of them?

It's frustrating to try and know Jesus, to try live like Him, with so little info available on the three years He spent ministering to people. Everything is so summarized, with only a few "speeches" given here and there. And on those few words we hang our entire faith.

But I want MORE! Maybe it's a woman thing - you know we like to hear all the details of anything going. I'm not content to have an outline. But I think it goes deeper than that. It's hard to satisfy a hunger for God with appetizers. It's hard to get to know Jesus when you can't hear God speaking to you and all you have to go on is a few pages of Him. Yeah, there are the other books in the Bible, but when it comes to the Real Reason we're around, the details are precious few.

(And I'm starting to be pretty amazed at the millions of sermons preachers can get out of those few verses!:) )
