We write to you about the Word of life, which has existed from the very beginning.

We have heard it, and we have seen it with our own eyes (writes John)

Yes, we have seen it, and our hands have touched it.

John’s writing is always such an inspiration.

That is why I am saving his gospel until last in this journey, as a way of pulling together everything into one good perspective.

Anyway, I will continue with a few more lines from this lovely letter he wrote:

“Now the message that we have heard from God’s Son, Jesus Christ and announce is this: God is light, and there is no darkness at all in Him. If then, we say that we have fellowship with Him, yet at the same time live in the darkness, we are lying both in our words and in our actions.

“But if we live in the light – just as He is in the light – then we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin.

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins to God He will keep His promise and do what is right: He will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.”

Dear Father God, thank You for the beautiful writer John and his gospel. Thank You for the way He talks about You so that we can feel we too have seen Your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank You for my family, the food and shelter You give us and also for all the love I have in my life. I confess that I have sinned, and I humbly ask that You forgive those sins and help me to walk in Your light,  In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
