The Seven Colors of Grace, Part 6

The Seven Colors of Grace, Part 6, 

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

The Rainbow
 
The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1 NKJV).
 
When it’s cloudy weather, don’t miss your rainbow. It is for a token of the covenant between God and you. God the Father whose name is Love, whose will is love, set His rainbow in the clouds as a reminder of His love. The rainbow of the love of God is set in every cloud that ever darkens your sky. -Amy Carmichael 
 
Here is a brief review of the previous 5 postings:

1. The rainbow, and every other Bible promise, begins with God. 
2. What God has promised is made possible for us to know and experience because of God’s grace.
3. Grace is extended to us through Jesus Christ.
4. Our faith receives from Jesus all the riches of His grace.
5. It is our faith that brings hope to our hearts. (Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV).       

The seven colors of grace is like no other visual on earth. It is God’s original artwork painted with a combination of colors found nowhere else in creation. The beauty of the rainbow leaves us in awe. 
 
The seven colors of grace can assure every heart and every life that we can pass from death to life, from darkness to light, from judgment to mercy, from guilt to forgiveness, from emptiness to fullness, and from aimlessness to purposefulness.
 
The seven colors in the rainbow can be likened to seven streams of grace flowing together to form one radiant river of light that flows from God’s heart to our hearts. Every blessing is a grace blessing, every gift is a grace gift, every favor is a grace favor. These blessings, these gifts, these favors will bring God’s hope to our hearts.

For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift] (John 1:16 – AMP).
 
In a unique way, each color in the rainbow symbolizes an aspect of grace that is found in one of the biblical names of Jesus Christ. 
 
Red-Jesus, is the Lamb of God!
 
Red is the first color in the rainbow and the starting point of our salvation. Red represents the shed blood of Jesus Christ upon the cross. It is the blood of the covenant of God’s grace providing our redemption. His blood, like a healing stream, can cleanse every sinful heart in need of forgiveness. How wonderful it is to begin each day knowing you are forgiven!
 
In Jesus we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).
 
Orange-Jesus, the Light of the World.
 
Orange represents the flame of light. Within the Tabernacle and the Temple stood the menorah. It was a seven-lamp lampstand that provided the only source of light in the Holy Place. Without the lampstand’s flame the Holy Place would be in total darkness. Without the light of Jesus within us, our hearts would be in total darkness. His light makes it possible to walk in God’s ways and have His light upon our pathway.
 
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who  follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12).
