1. Receiving the Light John 1:9-14 Pastor Keone

2. John 1:9-11 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. The world does not recognize Jesus The Jews rejected Jesus

3. John 1:13 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. Receiving equals believing in Jesus Believing bestows the right of becoming a child of God. Supernatural birth, not by any human means

4. What does it mean to Receive the Light? Believe in Jesus Make decision based on your understanding of what God has said. Acting on the reality of what He has given to us.
