He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

– John 1:10 (NIV)

Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible

What an amazing passage. The creation did not recognize its creator. This is still true today. Even with the miracle of the resurrection, we still question whether Jesus was all that He said He was. Realize that the Bible states that doubt is not a result of intellectual questions, but of a spiritual condition. We can have all the evidence in the world, but still not recognize God in front of us. It is when we are willing to humble ourselves that the life of God impacts us. The path is narrow and few are those who find it, but it is when we look more to our heart than our mind that we will recognize the One who made the world and came to redeem it.
