Digging Deeper John 1:6-14* Points to Ponder

John 1:6-14
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Points to Ponder
Oh, the love of Christ, to come to the very people He created and to be rejected. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. This phraseology is difficult to wrap our minds around but by faith we accept the truth. Jesus came to earth to offer a gift. The best gift ever offered and it's free.

If you have been enjoying the Victory Calls this year, as many have shared with me when I've seen you, may I ask you to stop for a moment today - Christmas Eve - and ponder the Christ Child. Perhaps you know Jesus Christ personally and have experience a new spirit, a regenerated spirit or in other words are born again. For others of you, this is foreign thinking; you are not sure what it means. If you would like to be born of God, as our verse for this week references, but don't know how or you have questions, please email or call me or one of our Victory Call writers; we would love to share with you. Only those that have received and believed are called children of God. Are you in the family? If you are not sure, please contact us.

Blessings, Diane
