This anonymous sermon or letter, typically attributed to the apostle John, is about the nature of Jesus Christ and what it means to follow  Christ in this world. Major themes include the coming of the Son of God fully into the flesh (“incarnation”) and the importance of linking faith with life, especially a life filled with the love of God expressed in concrete deeds. John calls all the church to unity in the Spirit that we may be a community of life, light, and love, working against the worldly forces of death, darkness, and hate. -Alan G. Padgett on Enter the Bible
