I think his "state of blind confusion" is the state of seeing everything as grey. He is having a tough time seeing the difference between the black and white of what is wrong and what is right, and he keeps falling into sin even though he believes in Christ. I don't think that the closer we grow to Jesus, the more we see things as grey. Rather, I think grey is where we start as a Christian and unfortunately it is also where we can fall. Sometimes we can be so surrounded by blacks and whites that confusion is all that remains. Grey also reminds me of the lukewarm church. We're told in the scriptures that being a lukewarm Christian is worse than being cold or hot. Revelation 3:15-16 talks about how the lukewarm will be cast out. Check out 1 John 2:15-16 as well: "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions–is not from the Father but is from the world." Gaining a closer relationship with Christ gives us eyes to see more clearly. Eyes to discern between right and wrong, and eyes that enable us to step out of this shade of grey that we all so often find ourselves. Through Christ we are able to see the fine line between black and white, and see just how much Jesus had to sacrifice of Himself to save us. |
