The Word of Life Eternal

Lady of Light

In 1 John:1-4 says:

"That which as from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full."

In this passage, John insisted that the gospel was based on the evidence of his physical senses - he had seen, touched Jesus. He also refers to the fact that he has handled of the Word of life.

In the gospel of John he says, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the same was in the beginning with God."

In Verse three of 1 John, he speaks of the purpose of this letter which was to pass on the truths that he had witnessed so that others could also have fellowship with them and with the Father and His son, Jesus Christ.

These verses are especially powerful because this was a powerful testimony of those who lived during the time Jesus was on earth, and also knew him.

The Word of life manifests itself through Jesus and through the inspired writing of the various people who God chose, including John.

As you read and meditate on the Word today, I hope you have a more full appreciation of it and of the truths it contains.

God Bless you and have a great day!
