The Meaning of Specific Words in the Bible

It is amazing, when you think about it, that you can take a pencil and a piece of paper, write a single word on it, show it to someone else, and produce in that person's mind the idea of the object, action, or concept in that single word. Whether you write lion, or moon, or wedding, or run, or war—a single written word connects your mind with another person's mind in an instant. This is the power of words.

[Bible 101 - Day 29] The Three Letters of John

Take a journey through the Bible in 30 Days

These three small books near the end of the New Testament are often overlooked and under-read.

But they are filled with theology and wisdom for Christian living:

First John is a pastoral essay written to re-assure spiritually confused Christians about eternal life and their faith in Jesus Christ.
Second John is a warning to the church not to entertain false teachers.
Third John is a personal note about hospitality.

STEP 1: Read 1 John

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.

Who wrote 1, 2, & 3 John? Church tradition from the earliest days of Christianity has ascribed these letters to John, commonly believed to be the apostle John—one of Jesus' chosen twelve, the son of Zebedee, and "the disciple whom Jesus loved" of John's gospel. But there's a problem: the text of these letters does not bear John's name.
