John 1:9-12
The Word who was in the beginning with God, who is indeed God Himself. The Word who made the world and all that is in it. The Word came to His own, and His own received Him not. Who are HIs own? All men? The elect? Who was it who rejected and refused Him? Verse that speak such sadness and yet much blessing, for as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God. Who are they...but all those who believe on His name!
