Eternal God,

such readiness and delight in following Christ,

we shall have lived abundantly.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - A life made manifest
1Christ was alive when the world began, yet I myself have seen him with my own eyes and listened to him speak. I have touched him with my own hands. He is God’s message of life. 2This one who is life from God has been shown to us, and we guarantee that we have seen him; I am speaking of Christ, who is eternal Life. He was with the Father and then was shown to us. 3Again I say, we are telling you about what we ourselves have actually seen and heard, so that you may share the fellowship and the joys we have with the Father and with Jesus Christ his son. 4 And if you do as I say in this letter, then you, too, will be full of joy, and so will we.
5This is the message God has given us to pass on to you: that God is Light and in him is no darkness at all. 6So if we say we are his friends but go on living in spiritual darkness and sin, we are lying. 7But if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ does, then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
