I've really come to love the Gospel of John and the epistles of John
since I'm become a member of this Community and I think the primary reason
is because
the message is love. The Gospel and the epistles tell us
about a God who is love, whose very character and nature is love.
And out of God's love, He sent Jesus into the world
to reveal to us the true nature of God
and to reveal to us our true identity as children of God.
And so the gospel writer says "To those who believed in him
to those who entered into relationship with Him, they discovered a new life and a
new light
in their lives and the the have received
power to become children of God." One of my favorite versus is this from the first
letter of John
where the author has this tremendous enthusiasm
about this theme. He says in
first John three verse 1, "See what love the father has given us
that we should be called children of God and that is what we are."
And this author and the community have discovered
through Jesus a God who is love and have known themselves to be beloved disciples.
And that's been a powerful message for me personally
and I think it's the message that speaks most deeply to our community
and it's also the the witness that we have to offer the world.
So we want to extend this invitation to
to hold you are participating in this video series to
open yourself to this wonderful truth and let it transform your lives.
