I was quite surprised to see that Christianity Today had researched and compiled a list of the top ten most shared verses of 2014. According to this article two Bible verses are shared, through social media, around the world every second. (YouVersion is the statistical base for this list.)
Romans 12:2
Philippians 4:8
Philippians 4:6
Jeremiah 29:11
Matthew 6:33
Philippians 4:7
Proverbs 3:5
Isaiah 41:10
Matthew 6:34
Proverbs 3:6
Does it surprise you that John 3:16 didn’t make the cut? Remember this is verses shared. I suggest that this verse is such a basic part of the Believer’s knowledge base that knowing it is like breathing. We don’t think about it unless we need too. YouVersion did report John 3:16 as the Most Searched Verse of 2014.
As I read through the list I noticed I knew many of these from memory…interesting. How about you? Did you consider this a list of already known verses from seeing the book, chapter and verse?
Blessings on blessings to you and yours!
