April 30- How Does One Recognize Jesus?

Judges 11:1-12:15
John 1:1-28
Psalm 101:1-8
Proverbs 14:13-14

John 1: 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

I have been in a number of Bible classes over the years, where the teacher raises the question, "If Jesus was here today, would you recognize him?" This brings up countless questions on my part, especially as I seek to know Jesus more and more. I do want to know Christ. I want to be able to spot him in the street, follow him as he ministers, and obey him as he teaches. And yet, the question always comes back to me... "Would you recognize him?" The verse here says that his own people didn't recognize him. So, what does it take for a person to see Jesus with clear eyes and a willing spirit? How could one recognize Christ?
