A Verse On Sunday

The Gospel according to John, chapter 1, verse 10.
'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.'

Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, who was God, and who was with God in the beginning, created the world, yet the world did not know him. The stones, the trees, the brute creatures cannot know him - though all creation proclaims him. Only man can consciously give glory to him. Only in the meaning of his existence does man give glory to God.
And mankind, made in the image of God is blinded by sin and self. Through our own natural intelligence, our own natural awareness, we are unable to perceive God. Without him revealing himself to us in nature, in Scripture and in Christ we remain in darkness and chaos.
In the dungeon of our egotism we grope blindly in the dark.
The Light of the World was in the world, a world made by him. In the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word became flesh.
Yet, the world does not know him. Left to our own devices we would forever stumble around worshipping rocks and stones, and idols made in our own image, hewn from our own vanity.
