SCRIPTURE STUDY JOHN 1:10-12 MAN RECIEVES HIS SIGHT
SCRIPTURE STUDY
JOHN 1:10-12
MAN RECIEVES HIS SIGHT
John1:10-12
New International Version 1984
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
What would it be like if the eyes of the blind could see the true light of this world? Would they see through their eyes or their heart? I have a few friends that are legally blind. They are one of the best friends that I have, as they see not with their eyes but their hearts at the inside of the individual, not at their physical appearance. This, I believe, is how the Lord wishes us to see.
John1:10-12
King James Version
10He was in the world and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
He was the creator of the world. Could you imagine a potter holding the clay before he molds it into his creation? What a great feeling to have felt knowing, out of that tiny, muddy looking substance a “Thinker” could first be formed, before it became the “Thinker” we know today.
John 1:10-12
Geneva Study Bible
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
The person of the Word was made manifest even at that time when the world was made.
11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
The Word showed himself again when he came in the flesh.
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
The Son being shut out by the majority of his people, and acknowledged but by a few, regenerates those few by his own strength and power, and receives them into that honor which is common to all the children of God, that is, to be the sons of God. He condescended to give them this power to take them to be his children.
He is the potter, we are the clay. He molded the whole world with his very hands. What a feeling of majesty and splendor. The majestic beauty of all creation, sinless when first made. The garden of paradise was just waiting for us.
