Consider the words we read in John 1 ,as regards our Saviour coming into this world,first of all we see in v1, that Jesus is called the word and he was God . C S. Lewis wrote of God in disguise ,He who was truly God, became a human being and dwelt among us.He came into the very world He created, but the world didn't recognize Him v10. Mankind is spiritually blind, is this not the supreme evidence of that reality?.Things have not changed nor will they ever change, because mankind loves the darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. John 3 v 18. The don't only love darkness, they hate the light 3 v 20,every day I pray for dear Christians been murdered,imprisoned,despised, because they are followers of Jesus .So John writes how the world didn't recognise Jesus for whom He was,and it still doesn't ,but we also read''He came unto His own people, and even they rejected Him'', Jn 1 v 11,are these not amazing words, this is the nation of Israel he is writing about. They unlike the non-Jews had the scriptures that clearly foretold of Christs coming,and when He came as a child we read he was born in a manger ,for there was no room for Him.Those words to me are symbolic, of what awaited Jesus, the only place there was room for Jesus was on a cross.Yes it a dark picture I paint, more darker than we realise ,and as long as mankind continue to reject Him ,the wrath of God will abide upon them .Jn 3 v 36. But the good news is this,' to all who believe in Him and accept Him, He gave the right to become children of God'. Jn 1 v 12.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and you will be saved.
Acts 16 v31
