04/08/20 GOD'S WORD REJECTED

People throw off words. God sent us His Word (Jesus). People throw off God's Word.
John 1:1-14

John 1:1-14 KJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
dlg note... (this WORD is eternal, was with God and was God).

2 The same was in the beginning with God.
dlg note... (see verse 14, which identifies this WORD as Christ).

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
dlg note... (this same WORD, this same Jesus is LIFE and LIGHT)

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
dlg note... (the LIGHT came to save all men).
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
dlg note... (this Word, Jesus, Life, Light was sent to Israel, but Israel rejected Him).

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
dlg note... (though God's chosen people of the O.T. rejected their Messiah, God extended His Word, Jesus, Life, Light to anyone who receives Christ, through unreserved trust).

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
