A Christ Follower: The Journey

He came to his own, but His own simply did not receive Him; however, Those who receive Jesus will find that they receive the power, right and privilege to be Children of God. John 1:11 & 12 Let me take some time out to think about how I am thinking about what I am thinking about when I think about this portion of God's Ancient Wisdom.  First, it begins with Jesus being rejected by those who should have been most close to him.  Think about that.  Your first experience with your people is one of rejection.  I don't know about you, but given Jesus was in a human body that was perfectly tuned to experience feelings this first encounter with his earthy kin had to be painful.  Yet He did not let this get Him down.  He simply used this as a means of opening a door for those who were in darkness to walk through this door into new light.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.   Meditate on this a while... And Then... Be Blessed 2day... Especially the gift Of this day.   SoJourner
