"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life" 1 John 1:1
You can read: 1 John 1:1-4
When celebrated cases play out on the "court of public opinion," it is usually media statements and press releases that form the public's perception regarding the case. Examples could be the ZTE scandal where the proponents of the case aired their sides through numoerous press conferences. The Garci scandal also played out on TV, without the merits of the case being presented in courts to determine whether things were as they seemed in TV.
When a case comes to court, there are certain rules that govern the presentation of evidence, and it si only based on the testimonial or physical evidence that rulings on cases are made. In the case of Jesus versus an unbelieving world, testimonial evidence abounds as to the veracity of the events that transpired when God walked the earth in human form.
In his letter, John once again affirms this truth. He begins his epistle by once again reminding those who are reading it the he was also a witness to the amazing things that happened and that he was also proclaiming what he saw. These accounts spur us to believe and to put our faith in God who gave His Son for us.
