This letter was written around AD 85-90 by the apostle John. It is assumed that he was the last living apostle. This letter reassures a new generation of Christians concerning their faith & warns them about false teachings.
It's a quick reading today, but John starts his letter by stating who Jesus is - He is our beginning, He is eternal, & He appeared here on earth with us. John witnessed Jesus' ministry first hand - Jesus was his friend. Therefore, John speaks with confidence & authority regarding the teaching of Jesus Christ.
We might not have spent time physically with Jesus while He was here on earth. But we have been given the Bible and the Holy Spirit. We are able to communicate with Jesus through prayer. Given these gifts, can you speak confidently about who Jesus is? Are you strong in your faith? Do you share it with others?
