I touched Jesus
Media > 1 John - Love and Light in a world of darkness > I touched Jesus
April 18, 2021
We're starting our new series working through 1 John and John starts his letter with a convoluted sentence that is inviting us to meditate on a surprising truth: Jesus was a real human and John touched, saw and heard him. This sets up everything he wants to say in the rest of the letter, and speaks right into our moment.

1 John 1:1–4 (Listen)
The Word of Life
1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our1 joy may be complete.
