In this exploration of 1 John, we’re reminded of the profound reality of Jesus Christ. The apostle John, an eyewitness to Jesus’ life and ministry, emphasizes the physical, tangible nature of Christ’s presence on earth. This isn’t just abstract theology; it’s a firsthand account of God incarnate. We’re challenged to consider: do we truly believe Jesus was both fully God and fully man? This belief isn’t just academic—it should transform how we live. John’s passionate defense against false teachers reminds us to be vigilant in our faith, testing every spirit against the truth of Christ. As we reflect on John’s words, let’s ask ourselves: How does the reality of Jesus impact our daily lives? Are we living as if we’ve truly encountered the living God?
