Obsessed

Have you ever talked to someone who has just lost 10 pounds on a diet, or quit smoking, or had a major operation? Have you noticed that they don't want to talk about anything else? When a man I worked with had a heart attack I overheard one person say "Here we go again. All we are going to talk about is George's heart attack."
It is only natural to want to share with others what you find life changing. That was the Apostle John. As you read through the first four verses of his epistle you get the feeling that he cannot quit talking about what he has seen, heard and handled. It was more than an obsession, it was life changing.
Take time as you read through these verses to notice the number of times that the pronoun we, us, our is used. Do you think he is using the royal we or is he referring to others as well as himself? Is he only referring to himself or is he referring to the apostles? What about us, are we included?
