 The Bible says that we're body, mind and spirit, but sometimes it feels like we're being told our bodies don't matter, or are something to be ashamed of. In contrast, John writes about Jesus saying, That which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at, and our hands have touched. Jesus's followers had reached out their hands and found warm flesh, a body that eats, talks, laughs, loves, weeps and bleeds like we do. The good news of one John is that in Jesus we have someone who is with us in the flesh.
