SCRIPTURE: 1John (NIV) 1:2 The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
OBSERVATION: John is revealing a source of joy and peace. What they have discovered is available to his readers also. John has fellowship with others who share his passion. And those to whom, he is writing can share that same peace, joy, passion. They can even share in the fellowship with Father God and His Son, Jesus Christ!
APPLICATION: I need to count it as a special privilege and blessing to walk in fellowship with God! I should look forward to his fellowship each day. I should expect the revelation of His presence in every challenge or difficulty. I have His promise, so I should act like He is with me. He is not with me because I am acting like He is with me. I am acting like He is with me because I know I can count on His Word! HE IS WITH ME!
PRAYER: Lord, I remember singing, “What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms. I have perfect peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms.” (Showalter) Amen
