1 John 1:1: "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;"
In this verse from 1 John, the apostle John reflects on the tangible experience of encountering Jesus, the Word of life. He speaks of hearing, seeing, and touching the incarnate Son of God, emphasizing the reality of Christ's presence among them.
As believers, we may not have physically seen or touched Jesus as the disciples did, but we are called to experience Him personally and intimately through faith. The Word of Life is not merely a historical figure but a living reality that continues to transform lives today.
May this verse remind us of our faith's depth and the gospel message's truth. Just as the early disciples bore witness to the Word of life, may we also boldly proclaim the life-changing power of Jesus Christ in our words and actions. Let us seek to know Him more intimately, hear His voice, see His work, and feel His presence in our lives daily.
