Subject: The Life was Manifested |
Bible Note: The Life was Manifested ******************************* The Life was manifested in the flesh! He is the living one who has life in Himself (John 11:25; 14:6). He is the source of life and sovereign over all life (John 5:11). John is making a direct reference to the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in 1 John 1:2. John was an eyewitness, and his personal testimony refutes that of the false teachers who spread false teachings about the Christ whom they had never seen or known. Jesus was with the Father, being equal to the Father and also distinct from the Father at the same time. 1 John begins and ends (5:20) with the theme of eternal life. The apostle Paul also gives us a distinct picture of the manifestation of Christ... "By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory." (1 Timothy 3:16 [NASB]) - Nolan |
