1 John 1

The Apostle John is an eyewitness to me, Lord. He heard you and saw you. He looked upon your raised body, and he touched you. He knows you are from the beginning, and he knows that you are the Word become flesh.

Through his testimony, I know that eternal, divine life manifests in you. All the Apostles saw it and bear witness to that truth with their writings and with their lives.

They declare these things to me so that I may have fellowship with them, and so that I can have fellowship with you, Lord Jesus, and with God, our father.

John writes that you, Father, are light and that in you is no darkness at all. He tells me that, if I walk in your light, I can have fellowship with other believers and that I have eternal loving fellowship with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The blood of Jesus, your son, Father, has cleansed me from all sin, and my joy is full.
