People are often pictorial in their thinking. We may not
be very good with amorphous concepts which consist only of words, but
when we attach the words to an image the words make sense. For
instance, the idea of a “singularity in space and time whose escape
velocity exceeds the speed of light” makes more sense when described as
a “black hole”. The mind went from a mathematical construction right to
an image of a swirling mass of darkness with maybe a little spaceship
being pulled into the vortex.
God often employs illustrations to get us to understand what he’s
talking about…be it inanimate objects (the tabernacle) or living
advertisements (Pharoah). One particular illustration in the New
Testament has an incredible double-edge. The word-picture paints a
mural of love for husbands to learn from and at the same time forms
part of the greater canvas of Christ’s love for the Church.
