Recognizing Jesus!
Recognizing Jesus!

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
John 1:12

Many years ago, seminary professor Malcomb B. Yarnell was lecturing on eschatology—the teachings of the End Times and the return of Christ. A Master of Divinity student named Sanghwan Lee sat listening. About ten minutes into the lecture, Lee realized tears were rolling down his cheeks. He couldn’t stop crying. He suddenly understood that he’d been living as a “fake” Christian for years. “So I repented, repented, and repented in the class,” Lee said. “That was the very day that I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord.”[1]

John 1: 1 – 14
In the Bible, the children of Israel longed for the Messiah to come. They looked forward to that day. They studied the prophecies. Yet when He came, they didn’t receive Him. They thought they were God’s people, but they should have been open and receptive to the Messiah’s appearance.

This Christmas as we celebrate our Lord’s coming, let’s make sure we know Him. Let’s share His message. Those who hear it can be saved—even in a theology class!

I will always remember the day when a hundred students filled the Truett Conference Room with cheers after Sanghwan confessed his newfound faith.© All Rights Reserved
