Light and Heat: The Book of 1 John
-
Heard, Seen, Touched
On Easter Sunday we remember that our faith is not based on feelings or emotions or speculation. It is based on the historical reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Apostle John witnessed it in the flesh and wrote what he heard, saw, and touched, so that we might know God and taste joy.

A Sun Too Bright
God is light. And the brilliance of his glow ruins us. We cower under his radiance, clamoring about for dark corners to hide our dark hearts. But paradoxically, the only place to hide is out in the open, fully exposed. It is only there that the beams of divine sunlight can deliver the warmth of forgiveness rather than the fire of wrath.

Be Perfect
If finding our way back to God depended on us being good enough for him, then God would have to set the bar for goodness at a level attainable. But since Jesus has secured our place with God, there is no limit to where he can set the bar. And he has set it in heaven, asking for the impossible - that we not sin.

Christus Exemplar
Christians rightly value and emphasize the death of Jesus as our atoning sacrifice for sin. But all too often, we undervalue and underemphasize the life of Jesus as our example and pattern. We must grow deeply familiar with how he spoke, how he listened, how he worked, how he loved. If we could replace all the false caricatures from film and literature with a true picture of Jesus from the Gospel narratives, the impact on our lives, our church, and our world would be nothing short of revolutionary.
