1 John 1:1-4 | The Incarnation of the Word of Life | TCBS

What does it mean that Jesus was fully God and fully man? In 1 John 1:1-4, the apostle John opens with a bold declaration rooted in eyewitness testimony. He heard Jesus, saw Him, and touched Him. This was no legend or spiritual theory. The Word of life stepped into history and made Himself known. Join Pastor Stacey, Pastor Chris, and first-time guest Pastor Jonathan as they walk through these opening verses and explore what John calls us into: koinonia, true fellowship with one another and with the Father through Christ. This kind of community is built on shared faith in who Jesus really is, and it demands honesty, openness, and showing up for one another. As Pastor Jonathan reminded us, God did not leave us without a picture of who He is. He came down, took on flesh, and still managed to blow our minds.
