I John 1:1-3

Think about what John is doing here. He's telling these people what he—one of God's apostles—has talked to them about. That is, what was in his heart! And what did he do? He declared what was manifested to him. He declared the Life that he had seen. He declared the things that had taken place between the apostles and Jesus Christ in their fellowship in that three and one half years.
