John 1:9-11 ESV
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
These verses reveal the tragedy and the tenderness of the incarnation: the true Light entered the world He Himself created, yet many failed to recognize Him. For leaders, this is a sober reminder that God’s presence can be near and still go unnoticed if our hearts are distracted or hardened. It calls us to cultivate awareness, to help others see what God is doing in their midst, and to welcome Christ with humility rather than familiarity.
