Send us a textWe are travelling at a slow pace ‘smelling the roses’ of this little letter of the Apostle John (1 John). We have heard him announce the breaking on of God’s whole new covenant world of grace in the Resurrection of Jesus that created a whole new community in the world, of which John is an Apostle. We have heard that this truth of God’s grace creates the coin of faith and love. John is a realist. He knows that we live in an ‘anti-messiah’ world in which there is plenty of false teaching and false teachers. Today he holds up a marker flag across no-mans-land to which he says, ‘run’. The marker flag is our sure future that is ours already in part. But one day in full when this battle with this wayward anti-messiah self, this anti-messiah world and the Anti Messiah himself is fully completed and ‘we see him as he is’.This for John also means, that we will finally see ourselves in all that we have become. We are becoming that person already. This is hard to believe when there is so much false teaching on life and so much suffering we know of and experience. Today the Lord will reassure us and hold up that marker flag for us again, and all so that we continue in the call to let love live.
