As he begins the text for this teaching in 1 John 1:1, Rabbi Steve Berkson points out that the apostle John confirms all the scriptures that refer to Messiah Yeshua as the Word, and from the mouth of Yeshua as He refers to Himself as the Life, when he says he has looked upon and handled the Word of Life–he was there as the Messiah walked on this earth.

As Rabbi Berkson points out, the apostle John emphasizes in the first part of his letter the vertical and horizontal relationships–with our Father and with each other. Note also how much he uses the light and darkness references–walking in the light means guarding His commands, or doing the truth.

• What did Rabbi Steve mean when he talked about how Yeshua “took the bullet for us.”

• How do we know that we know Him? (1 John 2:3)

• Who was the “perfect disciple”? Hint: it wasn’t one of the twelve.

• What is it that demonstrates our being one with Yeshua and the Father?

• Can one say something that is a lie, but not be a liar?

Once again, at the end of this series, Rabbi Steve Berkson delves deeper into scripture to uncover even more dimensions of Darkness and Light.
