1 John 1:1-5 New International Version (NIV)
The Incarnation of the Word of Life
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 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. 4 We write this to make our[a] joy complete.
Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
Dear Father, Jesus is from the beginning. Jesus is the Word of Life. Through Jesus is eternal life. Jesus is with the Father. I have fellowship with Jesus, with the Father, and with the Holy Spirit. My joy is complete. You are Light, Father. In you, Lord, there is no darkness at all. Thank you for your Light. Thank you for Peace, Life, and Joy. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
