Prelude: The Uttermost Life
Which kind of life?
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us) (1 John 1:1-2).
Really? Did he say, “Life was manifested?” to mean what now, is ‘Life’ a Person?
Now you can understand it when Jesus said in John 14:6, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life….” He is the life that became defined in totality, in a human person, and was manifested to us.
What does life look like?
Jesus is life. This is a discovery that is beyond mathematics and head-knowledge. However, if this discovery is conceived in truth and contemplatively brought into the faculty of head-knowledge, the results are assertive truth; the kind of truth that delivers life into your human soul.
Jesus is the embodiment of life. 1 John 5:12 says, “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life (NKJV).”
