O, people of the world

⁹ There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. ¹¹ He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. ¹² But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, ¹³ who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  (John 1)

⁹ There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.    How Beautiful this Good News is.  How Precious to belong to the God who made us, The God who loves us, the God who redeemed us.  Every single person is given the opportunity to know this Wondrous God, for when He came into the World as the True Light, He enlightened every man.  Therefore every man has the opportunity to know God through Him.

¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.  Forgive us, Dearest Father for not seeing You, not Hearing You, not Wanting You.  ¹¹ He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.  This is perhaps one of the most tragic statements ever penned.  Our Precious God came to us, and we didn’t know Him, we didn’t recognize Him, we didn’t receive Him.  But God did not just throw us away, as humans throw relationships away.

¹² But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, ¹³ who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  (John 1)

All Praise to such a God, the One and Only God, The True Light of Mankind.  Our Precious Savior and Lord.  He has revealed Himself to us.  Written us a letter from Heaven in the form of the Holy Scriptures.  O, people of the world, I plead with you to open up this Precious Letter and read of the Love of God, the Love of Christ.  How He carried with Him, the fire and the knife.  The fire of passionate love for those who He has created with His own hands.  And the knife to sacrifice Himself on a Cross to redeem us, the very ones who didn’t know, recognize, or receive Him when He came.  He has given us the power to become His children.  O, People of the World, do come and see Our Precious God.  Amen
