John 1.12 - Receive God’s Greatest Gift!

John 1.12 - Receive God’s Greatest Gift!

Tonight you will receive a copy of the Gospel according to John. Read it carefully this Christmas. The New Testament Gospels are the best place to learn about Jesus Christ. There is an invitation in the first chapter, “to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1.12). Tonight you have seen children of God from around the world praising Him. In one sense we are all God’s children, He is our Creator. But Jesus came to deepen and confirm that relationship. Do you really know God as your Father? Do you worship Him as you saw tonight? Do you know He loves you and wants to forgive you? There is something we all must do – Receive Him! If you got an iPhone6 as a Christmas present you would tear open the box, turn it on, and start using it! That is how to receive Jesus Christ – with eager joy, thankfulness, and sincere commitment.
