John 1:10
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Not only is Jesus the light, but He is also the one who created the whole universe. Although God was physically present on earth in the person of Jesus, this verse relates a sad situation: He was not recognized by the people of the world. It is not only that people reject the knowledge that comes from the light, but they also run from the One who brought it to them in the first place. All that He did and all that He said was witnessed by them. They witnessed many of His miracles, and they followed Him wherever He went. His followers were astonished by the gracious things He said and the incomparable things He did. Yet most of them rejected the Truth and crucified the Lord of Life. Those who are unbelievers should come to know Jesus as their Savior, trusting in His sacrificial death as their one and only substitute for sin. Those who believe in Him should know Him as the greatest Prophet of all time, the heavenly Priest, who is the only Mediator between God and man, and the glorious King of all kings. As disciples of the Lord, it is important that we do not merely follow Him from afar but instead develop a desire to know Him as our everlasting Life of Love and as the everlasting light of the universe.
Psalms 138:7
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
1 John 5:12
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
