Life in Christ: Studies in 1 John Book

I read this as part of my devotional, one sermon each day. Lloyd Jones' exposition is solid and he has the knack of elucidating the right parts of the text without wandering off topic and touching on themes that are vaguely present. One example: he's distinctly reformed, but doesn't make God's sovereignty the main issue of 1 John (which it's not); Some preachers mysteriously find the same themes no matter what book they are in. He knows when to balance simple exposition with the need for deeper explanation. Case in point, he spends several pages comparing and contrasting textual criticism and higher criticism to explain the variant reading of 5:7. The sermons on Joy at the beginning of book 1 were with the price. I left the book convicted that I needed to love people more, Lloyd Jones' thesis for his commentary on 1 John.
