ARE YOU ROYALTY?
John 1:11-13
“He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” (NLT)
Have you ever thought about what it might be like to be royalty? Someone born into a “royal family” who receives special recognition and all the privileges that come with being a Royal.
This year, there are 44 monarchies and royal families worldwide, including England, which is probably the most familiar to us in America.
Now to the Scripture.
John is explaining that the Jews – Jesus’ “own people” – didn’t immediately rush to crown Him as the Messiah when He came to earth. Some eventually did, but not at first.
Then John shares something VERY personal for you and me… “But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.”
That can include anyone on Earth — including you and me.
Consider that you can become a “child of God” and thus be royalty! But unlike human princes or princesses, we become God’s children “not with a physical birth ... but a birth that comes from God.”
What’s our role? To BELIEVE in Jesus as God’s Son and accept Him as our Savior and LORD of our lives.
This is the reason why Jesus, Immanuel, God in the flesh, came to earth; so that we might become children of God.
Prayer: LORD, it is beyond my understanding that the reason you came to earth was to give me (and everyone) an opportunity to become YOUR CHILD. I do BELIEVE in You and I ACCEPT YOU as my Lord, my Savior, my Redeemer, and my God. Amen.
