Download discussion questions:  1 John 5:2-21

This passage brings us to the end of John’s first letter.  When you are wrapping up a long, complicated correspondence (think back to the days before email and Twitter!), what is on your mind?  What do you want to leave as a last impression on your readers?  Is John summarizing and recapitulating his previous thoughts?  Is he introducing last-minute new ideas in a sort of first-century postscript?  Take time to read through all of 1 John (10-15 minutes).  Then read the handout, and see how John’s conclusion fits the rest of his letter.  Join us on Sunday to see what we can discover together in this passage.
