Subject: Our Fellowship is with the Father |
Bible Note: Our Fellowship is with the Father ****************************************** John is again speaking here as an eyewitness, focusing on what he, and the other disciples, has seen and heard! By sharing and having fellowship (touching and seeing) with the incarnate Christ, we also have fellowship, since "fellowship" describes the spiritual connection that a believer has with Christ, with fellow believers (1 Cor. 12:12; Col. 1:18). Fellowship carries both the idea of a positive relationship that people share and participation in a common interest or goal. The fellowship that we have with each other and with Christ is a recurring theme in this letter. And by having fellowship with Christ, we are also partakers in possessing eternal life (Phil. 1:5; 1 Peter 5:1; 2 Peter 1:4). - Nolan |
