John 1:10-13 – He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and yet the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own people did not accept Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, 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 a man, but of God.
The Word of God made the world and all that was in it. So although the Word came to the world He was already spiritually in it and had, in Christophanies made appearances on it. At the perfect time He came to the world to be its Messiah. (Galatians 4:4, 2 Galatians 6:2) The Word God was always here, after all He is omnipresent (Psalm 139: 7-10) At just the right time He, the Word of Truth and the Light of the world (John 1:14, John 8:12) came to the world as one hundred percent God and also as one hundred percent man. God who pre-existed the world, who made the world, and who could not be physically seen by the people of the world, came physically to the world to be the Light of the world that brings mankind to restoration with God.
How ironic that the Creator was not known by the world that He had made. But the world (the unbelieving world) did not know Him because they resisted knowing Him. It was not that they could not know Him, or that they could not come to know Him, but that they rejected knowing Him. (John 3:19-20) So not knowing Him was a choice. What is worse is that His people, the Jews, even though they had the words of the prophets, willingly and purposely refused to know Him. Since the Lord is omniscient we know that He came even though He knew that most of His people would refuse Him. Yet, He also knew that many would could come to Him, so for those He came, He suffered and died. It is true that salvation was offered to all, even to those who would reject Him. But if He did not know the truth that though most would reject some would come to Him, why should He come? He came for those who would receive Him, though they were a small percentage. He taught to His Apostles that few would come to Him, but He nevertheless came. (Matthew 7:13-14) The few are precious to Him.
Yet those who would receive Jesus the Word, to those who would let the Light illuminate the Word to understand, to all of them they would become the children of God because they believed in the name of Jesus, because they believed in Him. Now those who follow and know the Light are willing and joyful servants of it. These are they who are born not of the fleshly union of a man and woman, but are they who are born of the will of God. For it is not for the flesh that Jesus came to die to save, but for the eternal soul of a person. (John 3:16)
Family it is for those who love the Light and the Word that Jesus died. He died for you and me. The Creator, the Word, and the Light came to save us and to give to us what God has always wanted for us, a free, complete, loving union with Him. His salvation is for those who would choose Him because they recognize who He is. It for us who call out “Abba Father” to our dear, personal and loving God. To our Abba Father we cry out to in love and confidence. We know Him because we choose to. And that because of God. Great is God and His ways that are so far beyond us! Praise God!
John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear me.
Micah 6:8 – He has shown you, Oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace,
