People of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 1:1-4Sample
Life with Jesus brings fellowship and joy. That’s important to Jesus. It’s important to John. And I suspect it’s important to you. People in John’s day were breaking fellowship with the Christians John was writing to for the sake of their own fellowships. They did it because they had their own ideas about Jesus and the spiritual life. And why not? Who needs other believers anyway? But a fellowship of believers isn’t fellowship for its own sake. John says fellowship with those living by the truth of Christ brings fellowship with the Father and Jesus Christ. Now that’s fellowship. That’s joy!
About this Plan
Near the end of his life, John, the last living apostle, wrote a Gospel. And it seems some people were distorting it. John writes to believers caught in the aftermath, 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 takes us through 1 John and how to live in the face of distorted Christianity.
