Nearly 20 years ago, Brian Metzger and myself partied hard in our lost years. We fell away as friends then independently found Christ within two years of each other (around 1990ish). Now he is a tamed married man (like myself), and has five wonderful kids.

Why am I telling you all this? Well, in this last day of the first week of the New Year, it’s easy to forget that Christ came 2,008 years ago to bear witness of the truth; John’s Gospel declares this truth boldly. The Metzger family has made a wonderful video of John Chapter 1—using all five of their kids in the telling of this chapter. I loved this 10 minute video; you will, too.
