People of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 2:18-27Sample

Here we get to the heart of it. Believers once unified in Christ have split. John writes, “They went out from us” (1 John 2:19). The pain of watching someone you love reject you, is immense. It is with God, too. John will tease out some of the reasons they left, but it doesn’t change the fact that leaving hurts. John doesn’t mince words. He calls them “antichrists.” They didn’t just leave a church. They left Christ. So John encourages us, “See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you” (1 John 2:24).

John, the last living apostle, wrote a Gospel, and it seems some people were distorting it. John writes to believers, bringing clarity and commentary on what he wrote. He shows them what it looks like to be people of light and life instead of people of death and darkness. This plan in the series takes us through 1 John and how to live in the face of distorted Christianity.
