Our eyes can determine what we see.
That sounds obvious but let me share what I mean.
Take the ordinary signal light. Green, yellow, and red. How hard is that?
Not at all unless you have an eye condition called monochromacy . . . or colorblindness. Then red becomes green . . . or gray . . . and now you see the issue. When municipalities turn their traffic lights sideways, if you’re colorblind, you’re sunk.
Or crashed. Or at the least, confused and discombobulated.
We must learn to see things in a new way, to recognize what we couldn’t see before as what it really is.
John 1:29 says:
“The next day [John] saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’ ”
The secular world claims Jesus was just a man, here and gone, one who was very good and brought out the best in people, but no more.
We are colorblind if we believe that. Jesus was a world-changer. The Son of God. A spiritual dervish that stirred tradition and made something more of it.
Jesus became the signal light that directs us to stop living for ourselves and start living for others. Humanity was at a crossroads, blinded to its condition, and struggling in a traffic jam of sin and self-interest. Jesus said, “Stop. Yield to me. Go your way in the salvation of the cross.”
Let’s see Jesus with new eyes. He is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
