2 | what is the darkness | John 1:5 | joel k | 103549 | ||
hello ... the darkness is not something you really want to know about. Oh how I wish I still had the innocence to ask such a question. If I could, that would mean I don't know what the darkness is, and unfortunately, I do. Let me tell you a true story ... When Divinche painted the famous portrait of the last supper it took him 6 months to study his first subject (person) for the face of Jesus, which was the first person at the table he painted. To study the subjects for the disciples it took the standard 3-4 weeks each. But when it came to the last disciple, Judus, he could not find a subject that would satisfy his artistic eye for the one that would betray Christ. Then a friend offered a suggestion. He said "why not look in the prisions", so he did and there he found the subject he wanted. And again it took him 6 months to study the subject's face for the portrait. Divinche was forbiden to talk to the prisioner, but when he was done he ask the man only for his name, as he had done for the rest of the subjects he studied. Surprized, the man answered " don't you remember me?" " I am the man you studied for Jesus, just over two years ago". " don't you reccognize me?" This is an example of how much we are changed by the darkness, disfigured forever, for turning of God. joel k |
