Well, my apologies for being a week late with this episode. You'll have to listen for my explanation, and I do hope you will forgive me, you know, in the spirit of fellowship. John opens his sermon this week with a basic fundamental teaching of Christian doctrine. This is one we don't have any wiggle room on: Jesus is fully God and fully man. Can we explain it perfectly? Nope. Do we understand it fully? Probably not. Is it essential that we believe it? Absolutely! The Eternal Life who was with God the Father, became flesh and brought his light into the darkness of the world. Life and Light.  John builds a framework for his audience to be assured of their salvation, and it begins with the belief that Jesus is fully God and fully man, and he came in the flesh to live a perfect life and stand in our place as a punishment for sin.
