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. John 1:10-11 (KJV)
This was written originally with respect to the
Jewish nation in the time of Jesus’ coming.
In their sin hardened condition and selfishness they did not because
they could not perceive the gift of God that was before them. Sadly some of us, though redeemed by Jesus’
blood, often allow sin to blind us to His perfect will for us. We drift away as ships without rudders; we
wander away blind persons on featureless ground and in our blindness do
perceive His presence, hear His call not heed his word.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to
you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8 (KJV)
