Send us a textWe have embarked upon a slower journey through a little letter in the New Testament of the Bible. It is the letter the Apostle John wrote to his local communities of disciples of the risen Jesus (1John). Today we hear John speaking of ‘the world’. He actually urges us to ‘not love ‘the world’ or anything in it’. This may seem a little confusing coming from the Apostle who gave us that most famous bible verse of all bible verses:“God so LOVED THE WORLD that he gave his only Son so that all may believe and be saved……”.John means something a little different than we might expect when he speaks of this ‘world’ in which we are called to live out the truth of the gospel by faith and in love. He is very aware and very realistic about the forces at work in ‘the world’. He urges us to be aware of who we are in Jesus, and what our identity and purpose of living ‘against the flow’ still mean. May you be given a great anchor point for living in this interesting and often deceptive world and all that is coming at you puling you away from the ‘new world’ of light and life in Jesus the Anointed Saviour of the world.
