Retelling so we can believe!

10/6/2014

 
"What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life - and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us - what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." 
-I John 1:1-3 (NASB)
Important times in history tend to be unforgettable.  I was recently at a dinner where the conversation turned to significant events in U.S. history and many at the table had a story to tell about a memorable event.  Living through important events make them come to life and we often will retell them with conviction so the events will be remembered and not forgotten by us and by future generations.

The author of I John (1:1-3) is retelling what he saw, heard, and felt.  He is telling his readers of the events so that they will not be forgotten.  We did not live during the time when Jesus came to earth as a human and ministered to those around Him, but that doesn't mean we have been excluded from the messages and promises of Jesus' ministry and sacrifice!  The retelling of the events are kept in the Bible so that we, too, can believe, can be saved, and can live in fellowship with God and Jesus.  We can be reassured by the eyewitnesses in the Bible that our God and the life of His Son are real and life changing!


Listen to the witnesses and join in fellowship with God and Jesus!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for Your Word and all that it tells me.  Help me to learn from those that came before me so that I can continue to draw closer to You in fellowship.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
