The Word of Life
The Holy Ghost writes to Spirit-filled believers, in the first epistle of John, emphasising his message is not another spiritual experience cooked up by a hermit in a cave, or a navel-gazer squatting under a tree, but is an eye-witness account of what he has actually seen, heard, and touched.
The Word was made flesh: God’s life manifested in a real human.
Believers share the sense of wonder.
John is telling us to believe his report as simple truth, and not some spiritual invention.
