RSVP to the True Light

There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9-13  

Jesus is that true Light. The light of the world. Those who “receive” Him become children of God. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name…John 1:12 NKJV. They become adopted into God’s family…as brothers and sisters of Jesus Himself. That is pretty simple—and awesome stuff. Some people just can’t wrap their heads around that. Is it the simplicity of it? Do they expect it to be more complicated? Can they just not trust God to be their Father? Can they not let go of their sin and become a child of God? 

RSVP: Can you or have you become a child of God? The choice is yours. 

Prayer: Father God, forgive me for for when I did not see Jesus as Your Son…as the Light of the World. Now I see…and have received Him as my Lord and Savior…as Your Son. I praise You and thank you for your plan of salvation…and for adopting me as you very own child.
