John 1:27 “He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” John recognized his Savior. John is a phenomenal example for you and me in our recognition of our complete unworthiness yet our recognition of the complete love shown to each of us as being an adopted loved child of God. We properly hang our heads low in recognition of the might of our God while at the same time proudly have our heads held high having inherited all the treasures given by our loving Father.

John 1:22a “Finally they said,’Who are you?'” John the Baptist was asked this question because people were confused. Do you confuse people as to who you are? Is there ever a question as to your relationship with your Heavenly Father? Do you live a life which tells the world that you are an adopted, loved child of God? Or do people wonder? Live so noone wonders!

John 1:18a “Noone has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God…” Do we have to understand for something to be true? Explain germination. Explain the perfection of rotation within the universe. Explain the origin of wind. Explain the emotion of love. Explain the comfort and peace of faith. Explain creation. The you and I cannot explain list is endless. The truth is: Jesus is God–His love for you is endless-put your faith in Him-enjoy being His adopted and loved child-you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Have a great weekend.

John 1:17 “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” You and I have to know our Heavenly Father’s expectations to understand our Savior’s fulfillment of those expectations. We would all be living a horror story were it not for our Savior. Instead, we live a glory story only because of our Redeemer. The law condemns each of us. We need our Savior and we have Him. How blessed we are!!

John 1:14a “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us…” For you and me to enjoy being the adopted and loved children of God we needed to be perfect before our Heavenly Father. We need an Advocate and Savior. We are incapable of representing ourselves. God demands perfection. Our perfection is Jesus. How blessed we are!! Enjoy your life both now and eternally.

John 1:12 “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” With a faith in the One and Only true God you and I enjoy the rights as adopted, loved children of our Heavenly Father. You will hear a lot of sentences today but I can guarantee none will come close to the value of John 1:12. You and I have a comfort, peace and security found nowhere else!!
