Receive Him
John 1:12
But to as many as did receive and welcome Him (Jesus the Word), He gave the power (authority, right, privilege, honor) to become the children of God, to those who believe in His name.
What name are we referring to here? Jesus the Word Who was made flesh and dwelt among us.
What a privilege we have as mankind to become God’s child. Even though our ancestor Adam blew it royally and gave away His birthright in a sense of the word, we have an opportunity to become part of God’s household again. Adam gave away all his authority and dominion to an alien father and doomed us forever to a life of misery. Oh, but God! Thank you Lord for Jesus----Jesus Who came and opened up the way for us to become part of God’s family again. Thank You, Jesus!
God’s plan was in place before the foundation of the world to go and get His family back into His household if He needed to do so. Oh, thank God! What a privilege we have been given!
All we have to do is receive Jesus. All we have to do is welcome Him into our lives. Look what He does----He gives us the power, authority, right, privilege, honor to become God’s child. We just believe in Jesus the Word. We believe in His name. His name is above every name. Everything else has to bow to Him.
What a joy to know that we have a choice. By choice----we have been given a choice----it’s an honor, a privilege to have offered to us the opportunity to become God’s children. We can be a part of His family. We can be a part of His household, with Jesus as our oldest brother. It’s a big household and getting bigger by the day. Oh, Hallelujah! What a wonderful home to live in! We dwell in the place that God has prepared for us. I am not just talking about mansions in heaven; I am also talking about dwelling here in this earth. God has prepared a place for us in Him where we are sheltered and protected from the enemy as we go about our Father’s business while we are here. What a joy to be with Him! What a joy to call Him Father. What a joy to call Him Abba Daddy!
FATHER, THANK YOU, I HAVE MADE THE CHOICE TO RECEIVE AND WELCOME JESUS THE WORD WHO HAS GIVEN ME THE POWER TO BECOME YOUR CHILD!
