Send us a textWe have begun a longer, slower journey or diving deeper into a little letter in the New Testament. We are journeying through 1 John. John has begun his letter by announcing that he has seen God’s future for us and his world in Jesus, and it works! God’s future works because God himself has worked it and he invited is into this future that already begun; this life of close fellowship with the Father and Jesus, the Son, enabled by the Spirit. Today we hear John delve into this issue of our ability to deceive ourselves when it comes to God’s love and our living of it. He shows that there is a big difference between knowing love and doing love. It is one thing to know the love of God, it is another to actually do the love of God. This difference comes from this problem we have of tricking ourselves into stuff or out of stuff. He urges us who live in the new creation of Jesus’ love to let love live and points us to what enables us to love more fully; more consistently, more in the way Jesus’ has and does love us. May you know that love again today and be directed, challenged and encouraged to simply let that love live in your relationships wherever they are. As we let love live love will live and this joy of close fellowship with the Father and the Son will enable us and other people yet unknown to thrive in this new creation community founded on Jesus’ love for us.
