“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
John 1:10 (KJV)
Commentary on John 1:10
The tragic irony intensifies: 'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.' The verb 'egn' (knew) uses the aorist tense, indicating decisive rejection. The Creator entered His creation, but creation failed to recognize its Maker. The word 'kosmos' (world) appears three times, shifting meaning: first as the sphere where Christ operated, second as His creation, third as humanity in rebellion. This cosmic blindness represents sin's devastating effect on human perception—unable to recognize the very source of existence.
