A lot of people today feel that Jesus was a good man or a prophet, but certainly not the Son of God. These people who believe this way certainly do not believe the Bible. Verse 14 says that the Word (Jesus) was made flesh and dwelt among us. Verse 10 and 11 makes a very sad statement. It says He was in the world that was made by Him and yet the world didn't know Him. Even sadder still, He came unto His own and His own wouldn't receive Him. Jesus came and died so that the world could be set free from sin, and be reconciled to God, and they wouldn't accept Him.
Praise God for verse 12...But as many as received Him, to them he gave the power to become the sons of God. Are you one of the believing today or are you one who don't believe? Have you received Jesus as your Saviour? If you don't believe in Jesus, I feel very sorry for you. You are missing out on the greatest experience ever known to man. The experience of knowing the Son of God personally and to have a relationship with the Father. To those of us who love Him, He is precious, isn't He?
