Thursday – Letters

Reading – 1 John 1

Highlight Verse:

“We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Read that verse again and realize that this was John.

The John who wrote the Gospel and three letters and Revelation.

Good friend to Jesus.

If anyone tries to tell you, “The New Testament was written long after Jesus was around,” just point them to the books written by John, and Peter.

They didn’t just see Him, they hung out with Jesus!

John reclined into Him at the Last Supper.

When he wrote about Jesus, he knew what he was saying.

As we read through these letters, keep your eyes open for the personal insight that John had into the life, teaching, and character of Jesus.
