The Incarnate Word Of Life

Aug 17, 2025    Matt White

In today's teaching from 1 John 1:1-2, we examine the profound nature of Jesus Christ as the Word of Life. This passage emphasizes three crucial aspects: Christ's deity, His humanity, and His centrality in our faith. We're reminded that Jesus is both eternally God and truly human, a concept that challenges us to grasp the depth of God's love in sending His Son. The apostle John's eyewitness testimony brings vivid reality to Christ's physical presence on earth, countering false teachings that denied His humanity. This truth is vital for our salvation and relationship with God. As we reflect on this, we're called to examine our own faith. Do we truly have the eternal life that comes only through Christ? This life isn't just about duration but about a transformative quality of existence in communion with God. It's a powerful reminder that in Christ, we find not just forgiveness, but a whole new way of living and relating to our Creator.
