Knowing where we stand.


Next Sunday we will begin our study in the book of 1 John. John begins by telling us that our faith is firmly grounded in history. The Word of Life (which some believe may be a reference to the Gospel while others a reference to Jesus Christ - this is my understanding as what would be the Gospel except for Jesus Christ) was something that he had experienced. He saw, he heard, he handled. Next Sunday we will look at the prologue which consists of the first four verses. If you can be present next Sunday take time this week to read the entire letter at one sitting. Take time to notice the contrasts that he uses, light and darkness, truth and falsehood, etc.
