DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
The accounts of eyewitnesses are usually reliable and often more factual than handed down tales or even recycled stories that carry exaggerated details.
The writer of this epistle, John the beloved, squares up and writes authoritatively in a manner akin to incorruptible judges who dispassionately weigh all the evidences of the two sides (plaintiff and defendant) and come up with incontestable verdicts that render all falsehood crashing and cascading like a pack of cards. Such verdicts are informed by the knowledge or intimacy with the facts surrounding the contestation. Based on first-hand and intimate relationship with Christ, John encapsulates his knowledge in four crisp verses. Here, he portrays a picturesque attestation of first, the dateless existence of Christ; second, the treasure of Christ’s presence; third, the eternal and abundant life in Christ with its attendant resplendence; and finally, the humanity of Christ.
Knowledge anchors the Christian’s faith in the Rock of ages. Chuck Swindoll, the American nonagenarian pastor and theologian, sums up the importance of knowledge exquisitely: “First, knowledge gives substance to faith. Second, knowledge stabilises us during times of testing. Third, knowledge enables us to handle the word of God accurately. Similarly, knowledge equips us to detect and confront error. Furthermore, knowledge makes us confident and consistent in our walk with God. Knowledge filters out our fears and superstitions.”
The purposes set out in this epistle is noble. The first is to enhance and enrich the fellowship of saints. The second is to fill the hearts of believers with joy. Significantly, every believer must seek and make the best of the knowledge of the Person, power and presence of Christ. It is in His presence that we have fellowship one with another. Christian fellowship is two-dimensional. We must know the reality of fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ before we can know the reality of fellowship with each other in our common relationship to God. The person who is not in fellowship with the Father and the Son is no Christian at all, and so, cannot share with Christians the realities of their fellowship.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The more we know the Lord, the better we can deal with men and moments.
