Week 2 - Receiving the King
by Lucas Freitas
These are probably my favorite verses of Scriptures!
The true light, the maker of the universe, the glorious Son of God, took on flesh and dwelt among us. And by doing so, he gave us the right to become children of God, all of us who received him.
But, as weird as it sounds, the world did not recognize him (v.10-11). His own people failed to see “his glory as the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth” (v.14). What a sight they missed...
This week we will read about receiving the King of Kings. As we have seen, not everyone receives Jesus, but there is much life promised for those who do. Keep these things in mind while going through this week’s devotionals: have I received the King? Am I a child of God? If your answer is “Yes!”, rejoice! If your answer is “No,” this is a good time to think if this is your final answer.
