Abuelito John writes to a diverse community of churches in 1 John in the latter part of his life. He writes as an old man to churches that had not been eyewitnesses of Jesus, thus highlighting that they had seen him, heard him, touched him. The focus of this letter is love. Love is the legacy of our ancestors who loved us and deposited a sense of belonging in us. We remember them to religament us and fix our eyes on Jesus.
