As I was thinking about what to talk about, I came across a talk by Jeff S. Mcintosh written in last year’s December Ensign. Brother Mcintosh tells a story of selling suits in a department store. He said that as you entered the store there were a few suits displayed at the front that sat under a really bright light which gave the suits a clean cut color. There were always a few customers that would want to try the suits on. Once the customers came out of the dressing room and looked at the suit, it did not have the same look that it did under the bright light at the display. It looked more dim and dull. He would then have to take them out in the sunlight which displayed the suits “true” color.
I have a pair of pants that always confuse me… When I put them on inside they look a dark green so than I pick my shirt and everything else out based on that color; however, I than get outside in the light where the pants show their “true” color which is brown. I than have to go back inside and change because nothing I picked out matches the pants!
This of course ties directly to our Savior Jesus Christ being our spiritual light which gives us the “true” guidance and helps us show our “true” color.
John 8: 12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.
Brother Mcintosh said “striving to choose with true light will help us make proper choices for our families and ourselves. And by looking to God through the guidance of the Holy Ghost, we will not be deceived but will know good from evil.”
There is no doubt in my mind that Jesus Christ brings out the “True” color in everyone. The transformation that Christ brings to someone is such an amazing experience to be a part of. I have had numerous experiences where I have been able to see Christ change the life of others and show their “True” color.
