He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. - John 1:10
2000 years later, the same can still be said. Jesus was in the world and has been in the world for the past 2 millennia through his Spirit and many who have seen and experienced him still do not know him. It's a sad thing when we fail to recognize the Savior of the Universe. Jesus himself said it best, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home" (Matthew 13:57).
It's hard to recognize Jesus in the midst of daily life. You might ask, "How can I recognize Jesus as I go about my day?" One of Jesus' disciples asked this question, and in his own words he replied, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him" (John 14:23).
If you have never experienced Jesus, make that first step of faith by confessing him as Lord and Savior. Learn and understand what that means.
Then, as one who believes, obey his commands. And his commands are not toilsome. Love one another and love God. In doing this, you will know him and receive him.
