1 John 1
Pastor Jon Wehner
I’m sure that each of us has experienced a time when we pulled our vehicle out of a parking lot – in the dead of the night – and failed to turn on the headlights. While I know that this is a hazard to ourselves and others, we still have the ability to proceed toward our destination.
In 1 John 1, John reminds us about the importance of walking in the “Light” while maintaining a transparent relationship with the Father and others. Many of us may assume that the lights illuminating from our cars are for us to see, yet I’m convinced that we need those lights so that others can see us. Yes…they can see the good and the bad, the compassion and the failures. Confess often. Stay in the light.
Let’s not settle with making it home with no headlights. Crank up the brights.
When asked about a historical figure (not from the Bible) that he would most like to meet, Grace Covenant’s venue pastor for Monday Night Church and Fusion single adult ministries identified Martin Luther “for his courage to stand up against the religious leaders of his day – to challenge a ‘works vs. faith’ salvation theology.”
