2. Tell me the story of Joseph.

3. Tell me the story of Jesus.

Tonight we are discussing the books of _____________.

John was Jesus _____________ friend. As he was dying on the cross Jesus asked John to _____________ for his mother.

The relationship between John and ______________ was very special.

In Your groups read the following verses and discuss them.

1. I John 1: 5-7 What does it mean there is no darkness in God?

2. Read 1 John 1: 8-10 Do you think these verses have anything to do with walking in the light? How?

Now let’s get back together.

I think you get the picture that John thought love was very ______________.

In fact he said if we can’t ______________ then we are not saved! Because anyone that is born of ______________ will know how to _____________.

In fact in another place in this book John says if you can’t love the _____________ around you do not _____________ God.
