1 John - Revelation
Day 358 December 24 - 1st John 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
The church at Ephesus had begun to lose that first love that they were known for in the days of the apostle Paul. In turn, John the pastor at Ephesus was inspired to send the church a letter, due to his imprisonment on the Isle of Patmos. There is much debate as to the particulars of the dates of these writings, which does not diminish the intent of this letter.
