Gold

      Gold, precious metal, stone, I don't even know what it is, what I do know is that people like it,  and I think I like it to, and when I say I think I like it is because I'm not sure why I like it, I know that I like it because if I buy a necklace or a ring that I intent to keep forever, this precious metal will do that for me.

     Yesterday I was watching The Chosen, a beautifully made series made for all mankind to watch and know the real life of Jesus's disciples, and of course, the life of Jesus himself.

     There He was behind curtains almost ready to give His most famous sermon: "The Sermon on the Mount", and there were Mary, His mother, Mary Magdalene, and two other women suggesting Him that due to the importance of this event, He should stand out from the crowd, that He should be wearing a bright color against His oath color clothing that He was wearing. So He was offered different colors to wear: Purple for Royalty, wine, grapes, Red for Love, blood, and also Emperor, Gold for a King, shiny, important, and Blue, the color of the water, peaceful. At the end He chose: blue.

     I wonder why He chose blue, instead of all the other colors that also represent Him in one or more ways, and then I thought, I need to learn to be humble like He is, Who is The Kings of the Kings and His not wearing any gold, or red to represent someone or something, or purple to be recognized as a part of the Highest Priest, He chose blue, because He is the peace, the living water, the heavens, The King of the Universe, He part of us, not apart from us, He chose to wear our sins, our colors for our own salvation.

Maybe gold is just a color, or maybe is a precious metal, what I do know id that no matter what color of the rainbow I choose to wear today, I am remembering that no color represents my faith in my King, my faith in my king is blind color.
