conTRAST

as a graphic design major, my education is deeply rooted in the basic elements of art. one of the most important of these is contrast. i have found out that whatever you are making, be it a painting or a webpage, it needs contrast to look attractive. if everything in a work of art looks the same, nothing stands out and there's no focus. that is exactly what Christ brought when He walked on earth: contrast. He became the white against the black; perfection amidst absolute sin. within us is no variation, we all fall short of His Glory. not only was Christ without sin unlike us (i make it sound petty, but that is actually His most perfect and defining quality), He was actually a physical contrast to our grounded- ness. He came to earth and defied pretty much every physical law (check this out). law of gravity.  Jesus walked on water. law of conservation of matter. Jesus took a couple of rolls and sardines and fed thousands (with leftovers). law of water is water is water. Jesus took water, called it wine, and walla! law of if you're dead, you're dead. not only did Jesus raise others from death, He conquered it Himself.
