AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM

Scripture:   John 1:10-13 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”

    Our Lord came into this old world for the purpose of redeeming the lost.  His birth, His life and His death were all for the purpose of salvation.  The text tells us that He came into the world and the world did not know Him.  He came unto His own (the Jewish people), and they did not receive Him.  How sad that Jesus, our Savior, would come into the world and even to His own people and they still would not receive Him.
    The Creator of the Universe has come and His creation will not receive Him! Oh what men would recognize what He has done for them there on the cross of Calvary!  Oh that they could see that His death on the cross was for them!  Oh that they might call on Him for salvation!
    So many people are still rejecting Him today!  He has come and He has made the sacrifice for sin, and yet men still refuse to accept Him and His free gift of grace.  Why would man not want salvation?  Many because they have never heard.  Yet others have heard and know exactly what they need to do and have continually said no to the Savior.  How can they turn Him away when He loves them so?  How can they possibly chance another day without receiving Him?   
     What a sad picture today, that all we need to have our sins washed away is to receive Jesus as our Saviour, yet men, by the multitudes are rejecting His free gift!  Friend, do you know Him today?  Have you received Him into your heart?  He wants to save you, He’s just waiting for you to call!  If you have never called on Him for salvation, why not do it today!  Why not receive Him right now, and let that cleansing blood He shed, make you clean and whole?  He’s waiting for you!
