Didn't Just Hear About Him

1 John 1-3

I love the way John's first letter begins... John wants us to know that he didn't just hear about Jesus... he saw Jesus, touched Jesus, heard Jesus, was in his presence... and found him real. Modern believers don't have the same opportunity that the apostles had, but we can choose to either lean on their experiences or reject them. In the end, that gives us much the same choice since many of their peers evaluated Jesus and his teaching and walked away. We will join John in proclaiming that he is the one that brings eternal life, or will we scoff and walk away?
