Reflection on John Epistles (Dec 24)

Trusting God thru His Promises

The purpose of the First epistle
of John is to reassure Christians
in their faith and to counter false teachings; while Second John
is to emphasise truth and love as
the key basics of following Christ.

On Monday, we learn from 1Jn 1
that God Promises Forgiveness.
On Tuesday, we learn from 1Jn 2
that Christ Is Advocate to Father.
On Wed, we learn from 1Jn 3 that God Promises we will Be Like Him.
On Thursday, we learn from 1Jn 4
that God Gives Ability to Love.
On Friday, we learn from 1 John 5
that God Listens to Our Prayers.
On Sat, we learn from 2/3 John
that God Urges Living in the Truth.

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who trust You:
For You truly keep Your promises,
You listen to our prayers and
Christ Is our Advocate to Father;
For You promises forgiveness
and that we will be Like You;
For You urge us living in the Truth
and that You give us ability to love.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
