Truth, a Gift and a Task
As disciples of Christ, we have to give a faithful account on
what we have experienced:
This is what we proclaimed to you:
What we have heard, what we have seen in your eyes, what we
have looked upon, and our hands have touched…
-the Word of Life-we have seen and bear witness to it,
And we proclaim to you the eternal life that was present to the
Father and became visible to us.
What we have seen and heard, we proclaim in turn to you,
So that you may share life with us.
This fellowship of ours is with the Father
And with His Son, Jesus Christ (1 Jn. 1:1-3).
