TODAY'S BIBLE TWEET

BIBLE TEXT: “…of the Word of life.” (1 John 1:1c KJV)

BIBLE TWEET: The Greek word John uses here for “life” is “zoe,” not “psuche.” Whereas “psuche” is the Greek word for human life, as well as all natural life, “zoe” is the Greek word for divine life or God’s life. The latter is eternal, but the former merely temporal.

BIBLE TAKEAWAY: By presenting Jesus as “the Word of Zoe,” John is portraying Jesus as not only the possessor of eternal life, but as the proof and provider of eternal life as well.
