1 John begins with the core focus that the more we know Jesus, the more we will reflect his grace and forgiveness to others. Our faith in Jesus will naturally draw us to become aware of our own flaws and his holiness and perfection. Considering God’s perfection, and our lack thereof, we move to a place of humility, grace, and love for others. The people of God should be known by humility, love, and grace.

Moses grows up caught between cultures, uncertain where he belongs. After a rash decision he flees to the wilderness of Midian where God begins forming him through obscurity, patience, and waiting long before his calling fully comes into focus.
As I have been approaching Father’s Day, I have been thinking about God the Father. How I am his child, how we all are children of God. How is it then that Jesus is called God’s only Son? Are we not children of God? Why does John in one of the most familiar New Testament passages, from John 3:16. Call Jesus his only Son? I want to explore the beauty of how we have become children of God.
