1 John 1New King James Version (NKJV)
What Was Heard, Seen, and Touched
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that your[a] joy may be full.
Fellowship with Him and One Another
5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
If you are like me, you are tired of wandering in the earthly darkness. My soul cries out for the joy, peace, grace and mercy, but ultimately the love of the Lord. You get this feeling that life as it currently stands is wrong and is missing something. Seek out the Light! Seek out the purifier of all things!
The Author of Life has manifested Himself that we may find the Light we so desperately need. He became the living words of God that we have salvation and be rescued from the depravity of this world forever! The Light is His glory from the throne of righteousness and no darkness came come near it. We can fellowship in the Light for eternity starting today if we just grab Him, even the hymn of His garment, hold Him, and nothing can pluck us out of His hand. He gave His earthly life that we be justified by faith in the eyes of Jehovah Jirah.
Just take a step back and let the Light embrace you, that is what I am doing. Let the Light was all your sins and cares away with its caress and love. Let Christ hold you in His arms! The world wants to enslave and in the end kill us! He wants to give us life abundantly, from this second to the end of eternity. Love Him! AMEN
