What We’re Sharing
Jeremiah 48-49; Ps 67; 1 John 1
“…we proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.”
What are we proclaiming in the world today?
John was proclaiming that eternal life was found in a relationship with a person named Jesus, whom he knew personally. John was proclaiming the reality of what he had seen and heard with Jesus and the Heavenly Father.
Why are we proclaiming the Gospel?
John proclaimed the Gospel so people could experience fellowship with the Body of Christ, the Church, as well as fellowship with the Father and the Son. The Gospel was the doorway to a new world of relationships beyond anything experienced previously.
Is this what we are experiencing and proclaiming?
This mission filled John with great joy.
Would we like our job to be complete? This seems to lack connection…ie what is “complete”?
“Lord Jesus, knowing and sharing you with others has transformed my life,. Thank you for this privilege, for your glory.”
