Listening for the scent of color in sweet softness
Some things just don’t make sense - factually, yet can be true none-the-less. For instance:
I am bad, but I am good. The message of grace. Declared good, despite the facts. Through faith alone.
The OT promised a return of Elijah. John the Baptist was thought to be him, but said he was not. Jesus was asked if John the Baptist was Elijah and he said yes. John was in truth the return of Elijah, but in fact was not.
Faith is messy. Good and bad are not as clear cut as we might like to believe. It is bad to lie, but Rehab the prostitute is remembered as good for doing bad - she lied to protect the Hebrews in her home. Who knows why they were there. Possibly they were doing bad while on a good mission being protected by a good person doing bad. Again, who knows.
