Church Update June 6, 2025
Dear Crescent City SDA Church Family and Guests,
For many, each year around Christmas time, it is nice to choose a new calendar for the coming year to hang on the wall and keep track of important dates, birthdays, appointments and vacations. Breathtaking landscapes and timeless nature photography depicted in thousands of elegant colors seem to be the most popular calendar choice. But on each printed page of color, it is fascinating to note that there are actually only four colors printed. What you see as thousands of brilliant colors are actually only small dots of FOUR primary colors: cyan (a vibrant greenish-blue color), magenta (a vibrant purplish-red color), yellow, and black, commonly referred to as CMYK. You can verify this fact by observing with a strong magnifier that there are dots of varying size and density, but only four colors. This is REFLECTED color. Light bounces off the printed page and our eyes and brain mixes those primary colors so that we see thousands of colors and shades.
Now, imagine that you used your digital camera to take a spectacular photograph and then wanted to project that photograph on your large computer screen, living room TV or even your cell phone. You will only see THREE colors. And those colors are not the same as the CMYK described above. Instead, they are: red, green, and blue, commonly called RGB. Maybe you remember connecting cables, years ago, on the back of a television or video recorder with RGB cables which carried the three primary colors. In the RGB color model, these three colors are combined in various ways to create a broad spectrum of colors. But don’t try to use a magnifier to look closely at the color because this is TRANSMITTED light and the intensity could damage your eyes.
When an artist paints with colors, a few primary colors are manually blended together by the artist to obtain true colors, unlike the CMYK or RGB models. Maybe this is why art museums treasure the work of master artists who use true colors with masterful skills, and not just a few primary colors.
In a spiritual parallel, Jesus is the master artist who created all the beauty that we can see and enjoy. He always uses true colors and is not limited to composite colors of CMYK or RGB. On the other hand, we are to REFLECT the character of Jesus, and we are to allow the light of heaven to be TRANSMITTED through us that others may see Jesus through us.

Do we live so close to the Lord today,
Passing to and fro on life’s busy way,
That the world in us can a likeness see
To the Man of Calvary?
As an open book they our lives will read,
To our words and acts giving daily heed;
Will they be attracted, or turn away
From the Man of Calvary?
Can the world see Jesus in me?
Can the world see Jesus in you?
Does your love to Him ring true,
And your life and service, too?
Can the world see Jesus in you?
May the light of Jesus shine through you,
Verlyn
