What does John mean when he says the world could not contain all of Jesus' works?

Answered in 1 source

John's statement emphasizes the profound impact of Christ's works rather than suggesting a literal impossibility.

In John 21:25, the apostle claims that if all of Jesus' works were recorded, the world could not contain the books. This statement serves to highlight the abundant significance and scope of Christ's ministry rather than purely a logistical impossibility. The implication is that God has provided enough understanding of Jesus' life and work for us to believe and be convicted, while also noting that the mysteries of Christ are beyond full human comprehension. It invites believers to recognize the sufficiency of Scriptures in conveying God’s revelation.
