After this article had been written, a woman handed me a folded piece of paper containing a poem she had written called ``Under His Wings.' She is a cancer survivor, she said, and she wrote the poem in thanks and praise for her being alive. When I read it later, I saw that one of the lines matched a point in my article: ``He's with me at dawning, He's with me at dusk.' I thank Cynthia for the poem, and I rejoice with her.The statement by St. John, ``God is Light' (1 John 1:5), has more in it than meets the eye. It has long been known that the three primary colors of pigments are red, blue and yellow and that mixing them produces many other colors.

When all three are mixed together, they make a muddy black.

For centuries, nobody knew whether there were any primary colors of light, and only in later years has it been found by laboratory analysis that there are. They are orange-red, sapphire blue and emerald green. Some people think that science has made the Bible irrelevant, but God is always ahead of the scientists, and the primary colors of light demonstrate this. God created those colors, and some two thousand years ago he showed in the Bible that they are associated with himself, one with each of his three persons. St. John, one of the 12 Apostles, saw a vision of God the Father on his throne, and he said that he radiates the color of jasper and sardine (sardius) stones (Revelations 4:3), both of which are orange-red. Six centuries before that, the prophet Ezekiel had seen a similar vision of God, and he reported that his throne is sapphire blue (Ezekiel 1:26 and 10:1). St. John did not mention the throne's color, probably because he was more interested in telling about four strange creatures he saw that were associated with God's throne (Revelations 4:6-8). They were apparently the same creatures that Ezekiel saw, for both he and St. John said that each of them had a different face: that of a lion, a calf, a man and an eagle (Ezekiel 1:10, Revelations 4:7). Those creatures have long been understood by theologians as being associated with Jesus as he is presented in the four Gospels, the faces and the Gospels together showing his kingship, his servanthood, his humanity and his deity, in that same order. Since they are connected both with Jesus and with God's throne, sapphire blue would seem to be the color that goes with Jesus.

St. John also reported an emerald green rainbow around God's throne (Revelations 4:3 again), and by the process of elimination, we may conclude that it is the color that is associated with God the Holy Spirit. A prism, a triangular glass bar, breaks up white sunlight into its many colors. Rainbows are produced in the same way, each raindrop being a tiny prism. Any person can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow, but when scientists tried to analyze its properties, they had to use the most advanced mathematics and physics available. When the three primary colors are recombined, they return to white light, beautifully showing that God's three persons are one God. It is inspiring to realize that he also has used those colors to show his presence with everybody each day as well. What color is on the horizon not long before sunrise? Orange-red, of course, and the same color is seen in the west shortly after sunset. That seems to be God's way of saying, ``I am the first and the last, and I am with you at the start of your day and with you at its end.' As Cynthia's poem says, ``He's with me at dawning, He's with me at dusk.' Overlapping of pairs of the light primaries produce still other colors. When sapphire blue and emerald green, the colors associated with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, come together, they make cyan or sky blue, the color that is over our heads every day. God doesn't speak from the skies as in Jesus' day, but he still shows his presence in the world in these beautiful ways, working for the good of us all, which includes you! The Rev.
