John 1:11-12 (NKJV) 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God came to earth as a man, in the form of Jesus Christ, the Son.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He came down to the very earth that He created (the first use of \u201cHis own\u201d), to the people He called His own (the second use of \u201cHis own\u201d, the Jewish people), only to be rejected by them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may look at this and be shocked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How could anyone reject the very One who made them? Wouldn\u2019t that crush Him?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But here\u2019s the thing; God knew in advance what would happen. He knew that He would be rejected. He knew His people were a stiff-necked people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So,\u00a0what did He do?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He went to those who would<\/em> receive Him and embrace Him, and He offered them life; new life in Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To those who received Him and believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He gave them (us) the opportunity for forgiveness, redemption from their sins and the hope of eternal life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God is never caught off guard. He is never without understanding. And He is never without foresight or understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may sometimes think of this as God\u2019s alternate plan; a plan to make up for the failure of His first plan. But God knew all along that He would eventually reach out to the gentiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He didn\u2019t pick us\u00a0as a second people, aside or in addition to His \u201coriginal people\u201d. Instead, He grafted us into the vine, making us his very own (Romans 11:17-24).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For this we need to be careful to be thankful, that He saw fit to include us as His own and graft us into the vine, that because we receive Him and believe in Him, we have the right to be called children of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
