5	John 1:9-13	5/28	John 1:10–11 (ESV) — 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.	He created the world. He was here in the world. And the world did not recognize him. His own people did not recognize. But a few did -- 12, 70, maybe more recognized him. How could we be so blind? I think it is our sinful nature that makes us "want" to be blind. We want to be our own gods and do things in our own strength -- it feeds our pride. But to not recognize your own creator, is so sad. This is someone much greater than a father or mother, this is our creator God. Everything about existence is defined by him.	Father, forgive us for not recognizing the time of your coming, and even more importantly, your coming. Forgive us for how we treated you. Even today, we read the stories and we mock our creator. We are so … sick. Forgive us. Have mercy on us. Open our eyes. Let the tears flow. We need our creator.
