Do you remember in The Wizard of Oz when the movie transitions from black and white to Technicolor? Ok, here goes my best play-by-play of this iconic scene: The house spins through the sky and falls hard to the ground. Dorothy gets up from the bed and with a concerned look on her face carries Toto, her dog, through the house. When she gets to the front door and opens it, the viewer suddenly witnesses this iconic moment when the picture changes from black and white to Technicolor. This classic scene illustrates to me the difference Christ-like love can make. We will continue our study in 1 Peter to discover the difference this kind of love makes in our lives and those around us.
