Pondering Recognition

A pndering about recognition - His - Ours - Theirs
Recognition

John 1:9The true Light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

He is recognized for what He did, not for what He looked like.
Jesus didn't wear a uniform.


                                   Matthew 7:15-16  "Watch out for the false prophets. They comde to you in sheep's clothing,                            but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them."

                      Matthew 12:33  "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad,                          for a tree is recognized by its fruit."

1 John 4:2-6  This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:  Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. You are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God,and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

Luke 19:41-44  As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace - but now it is hidden from your eyes. The day will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of the God's coming to you."

Luke 24:15-16  As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing Him. :31-32 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from the sight. They asked each other, "Were not our herats burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

1 John 4:4    the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.


Is it recognizable?  Any fruit? Any likeness?
