Thank You, Father, for the reliable eyewitness
accounts of Jesus life that we can read in Your Words.
And thank You for people in our lives who know Him.
They help us believe too.

When the Day of Discovery television crew interviews people for a biography, we especially enjoy talking with those who knew the person so. Whose life-story we are telling. Over the years, we've talked with a man who roomed with Eric Liddel in an internment camp in China; a woman who as a teenager lived in the home of C.S Lewis during World War II; and a man who chauffeured Dr. George Washington Carver on a speaking tour throughout th's southern US. They all spoke freely and openly about the special person they knew.

When John, one Jesus 12 disciples, was an old man, he wrote a letter in which his opening words established him as an eyewitness and close companion of Jesus: "The life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us" (1 John 1:2). His goals in writing were "that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ" (v.3) and "that your joy may be full" (v.4).

The eyewitness accounts of Jesus disciples help lead us to faith in Christ. Even though we have not seen Him as they did, we have believed. -David McCasland
