1 John 1

The apostle John is an eyewitness. He saw you, Father, through the Lord Jesus from the very beginning. He says, “he heard, and he saw”. He looked upon and touched with his hands; he knew somehow it, He, Jesus the Christ, was divine life made manifest.  He saw it and testified to it and proclaimed that it is eternal life from God, the heavenly Father, and this life was made manifest to him as a disciple of Jesus, the Christ.

Lord God, John, your witness saw the life, and he proclaims it to me so that I also may have fellowship with the apostles, and fellowship with you, my heavenly Father, and with your son, Christ Jesus.  

I know these things and my joy is complete. The message is that you, Father, are light and in you there is no darkness at all.  By your grace and presence in me, I walk in the light and have fellowship with you, almighty God, and with your son, and with your many other children.
