Color

The law is all about seeing in black and white.
The gospel is all about seeing in color. 

The rational human mind can easily get on board with black and white. But that isn’t reality. 

Reality is color.
Different shades and hues
some of which you find appalling
some of which you find astounding
some of which you’re indifferent to
and some of which you go back and forth on.

But in color, we find complexity
diversity
and difference.

The gospel gives us the good news
that it’s not about what is right and what is wrong
but rather, it’s about embracing
the spectrum of color
that appears in the world around us
and within us

Amen.

THE RATIONAL HUMAN MIND …. What a construct … filled with color and yet selfishly wants see only black and white! Right or Wrong … seems to be the only choice answers for a black and white world … and I am not convinced the gospels does give us all the spectrum of whom and what we really are … but faith does want me to embrace THE COLOR and for that I am grateful! As I am everytime I read your words. That crack of light that comes through has all the colors of the rainbow in it … and that fills my soul with hope! Thank You!
