Dark wall contrast

by Bruce Wadd

 

All the rage at the moment in home renovations is painting one wall of a room in a darker colour or shade.  Thus in our desire to modernise our home office my wife and I decided to paint one wall a much darker shade of green. 

 

What a contrast it was!  The darker colour opened up many new decorating possibilities previously unavailable through using only light colours.  You could now see things more clearly.

 

My wife decided to use the contrast to highlight an unusual shaped vase alongside a modern sculpture.  The result was much more prominent and visually pleasing than I could have expected.

 

On a much wider scale, our humanity, when put next to God’s character, screams contrast. The wonderful love of divinity next to our humanity; what a black and white distinction!

 

Praise God that Jesus’ death opens the possibility of shattering the contrast... by making our lives identical to Christ’s!

 

“But when I learned the truth,

I realised that I had broken the law

and was a sinner, doomed to die…

Thank God!  It has been done by Jesus Christ our Lord! 

He has set me free. 

Romans 7:9b, 25

 

TODAY, let the contrast of Jesus impact your life!
