Jesus - The Saviour Of The World

Text: John 1:10-12

“He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
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 1:10-12
