part 2 John 1 11- 14 Verse 11 Jesus came first of all to the People of God, to the Jews but most of them did not receive him as the Messiah, the Son of God but only as Jesus the son of Joseph the carpenter and Mary. Luke 4:21-22 reads “And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, "is this not Joseph”s son?"” NASB Matthew13:55-56 reads “"Is not this the carpenter”s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"" NASB Mark 6:3 reads” "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him."NASB Verse 12 I find the wording of this verse very interesting, it reads:”But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, John 1:12 NASB To those who received Him Jesus gave the RIGHT to become children of God, salvation is not a privilege for the few but the right of all people, everyone can claim it. As many Jews who did receive him along with others who were non Jews such as the Canaanite woman, mentioned by both Matthew and Luke though not by Mark or John, see Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark and: 24 -30, were given the right to become children of God. The following link will take us to three Synoptic Gospel charts which compare each one to the Gospel of John; these will be useful later when we are studying the “signs” in John. http://www.users.bigpond.com/ajblair9/Andrew/Synoptic_Chart.htm The words “ even to those who believe on His name” at the end of verse 12 refer on to all those who have come to believe in the Name of Jesus, those of us who unlike Thomas did not touch the wounds in his body, we also have the right to become children of God. Verse 13. “Who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” NASB This verse explains that unlike Judaism where most people become Jews simply by being born into a Jewish family or of a Jewish mother, children of God or Christians cannot become so by being born into a Christian family or by having a Christian mother. Children of God are willed and desired to be so by the Father. God our Father wills everyone to claim the right of our salvation; this is not anything we can initiate; only God can do this. Verse 14 John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” NASB Now returns mention of the Word. That Word which was in the beginning with the Father was made flesh and dwelt among us. The nativity stories in Matthew 1:18-24 and Luke1:26 -38 explain how this came about. Notice that John speaks about this in the past tense, writing from beyond the event and looking back on this “and we saw His glory"; a glory that could belong to none other that the only Son of God, a glory that was grace filled and truth filled! |

All the verses say are that 'His own' (the Jews) did not recieve Him. A. T. Robertson explained ... Unto his own (eiß ta idia). Neuter plural, "unto his own things," the very idiom used in #John 19:27 when the Beloved Disciple took the mother of Jesus "to his own home." The world was "the own home" of the Logos who had made it. See also #John 16:32 Acts 21:6. They that were his own (oi idioi). In the narrower sense, "his intimates," "his own family," "his own friends" as in #John 13:1. Jesus later said that a prophet is not without honour save in his own country (#Mark 6:4 John 4:44), and the town of Nazareth where he lived rejected him (#Luke 4:28 Matthew 13:58). Probably here oi idioi means the Jewish people, the chosen people to whom Christ was sent first (#Matthew 15:24), but in a wider sense the whole world is included in oi idioi. Conder's The Hebrew Tragedy emphasizes the pathos of the situation that the house of Israel refused to welcome the Messiah when he did come, like a larger and sadder Enoch Arden experience. Received him not (auton ou parelabon). Second aorist active indicative of paralambanw, old verb to take to one's side, common verb to welcome, the very verb used by Jesus in #John 14:3 of the welcome to his Father's house. Cf. katelaben in verse 5. Israel slew the Heir (#Hebrews 1:2) when he came, like the wicked husbandmen (#Luke 20:14). They continue to be the apple of His eye, but they rejected their Messiah. read Romans 9-11. |

Hi meusing-welcome to the discussion--Here's something from Jeremiah--chp.31 vs-37--Thus saith the Lord-If heaven above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,I will also cast off all the seed of isreal for all that they have done-saith the Lord.--Yes they rejected HIM and we should be greatful to them for it---If they had not had their eyes "veiled" we gentiles would not have had a chance to be brought in and His death for our sins would not have taken place!They will "look on Him whom they have pierced" zechariah12:10 but not until "the fullness of the gentiles "has been brought in. in Him angel-1 | ||||||

that is what I meant when I said read Romans 9-11. Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not follow after righteousness [who did not seek salvation by right relationship to God] have attained it by faith [a righteousness imputed by God, based on and produced by faith], Rom 9:31 Whereas Israel, though ever in pursuit of a law [for the securing] of righteousness (right standing with God), actually did not succeed in fulfilling the Law. [Isa. 51:1.] Rom 10:19 Again I ask, Did Israel not understand? [Did the Jews have no warning that the Gospel was to go forth to the Gentiles, to all the earth?] First, there is Moses who says, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry. [Deut. 32:21.] Rom 10:20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown (revealed) Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me. [Isa. 65:1.] Rom 10:21 But of Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out My hands to a people unyielding and disobedient and self-willed [to a faultfinding, contrary, and contradicting people]. [Isa. 65:2.] Rom 11:2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? [Ps. 94:14; I Kings 19.] Rom 11:28 From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. Rom 11:31 So they also now are being disobedient [when you are receiving mercy], that they in turn may one day, through the mercy you are enjoying, also receive mercy [that they may share the mercy which has been shown to you--through you as messengers of the Gospel to them]. |
