Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

1 John 1:5-7 - Walking In The Light

“Religion, as the Apostle John conceived it, consists of two things: true knowledge of God, and fellowship with God and with each other in that knowledge. To fellowship with God in His Son Jesus Christ, the writer has summoned his readers (vers. 3, 4). For such communion the facts of the Gospel have laid the foundation. To establish and perfect His communion with men is the end of all the disclosures which the Father has made of Himself to us “from the beginning”; to realize this communion is “eternal life.”--George G. Findlay

That was George Findlay's introductory paragraph to this passage and it is fitting. Jesus has come, in part at least, to restore fellowship between us and God. He has come to bring us back into the fellowship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And John is calling us to 'walk in the light as he is in the light.' But what does that mean?



Christians do not walk in darkness. We walk in the light. And we have fellowship with one another in that light. But what does it all mean? What does this 'light' metaphor signify? What does it imply? All of these and more we discussed in this Bible study (our second in this letter) and I hope you will take a few minutes and listen.
