1 John 1:1-4, 1 John Pt. 1: The apostle John lived through many trials and tribulations. He has watched all his friends, his fellow apostles, martyred for their faith. He has witnessed the explosive growth of the early church, and has contended for the faith against false teachers who threaten to tear the church apart. Now nearing the end of his life, John writes a letter to a group of Christians who are dismayed and confused about who Jesus is. Was he real? Did he actually come in the flesh? Why should we suffer for someone who may or may not be the real deal? As John opens his famous letter, he says "Yes. Jesus is real. I know because I saw him. I've heard his voice,  and I've touched his resurrected body. Jesus isn't just an abstract idea - he is a real person, and he is with you in your sufferings!"
