The Word of Life (1 John 1:1-4)

Today’s scripture: 1 John 1:1-4

For the next few weeks, we’re going to spend time with a member of Jesus’ inner circle. John, the “beloved” disciple chosen by Jesus to care for His mother, walked by Jesus’ side for three years. He ate with Him. Learned from Him. Saw miracle upon miracle. John was Jesus’ intimate friend as well as a devoted follower.

He was an eyewitness. And what he wrote in this first of three short books is truth. The words come from a grateful heart, a joyful heart. And it was his deepest desire that others might know the truth of God—Father, Son, and Spirit.

Jesus. The Word of Life. Through Him we have eternal life. Through Him we have fellowship with the Father.

And John was blessed to have known Him well. And as we spend time reading and meditating on John’s words, we’ll know Him better as well.
