Advent Project - Day 22: Purple

Yep, purple.

At a time of year when almost everything is red, white and green, it's almost funny to think of purple being the primary color of Advent.  It's considered to be the color of penitence, fasting, and royalty.  Interestingly, it speaks to both us and Jesus.  We should be penitent in our lives before the Lord, be willing to fast to be able to hear Him better.  And, of course, Jesus is the King of Kings; royalty above all other.

Sure, purple may not be the manliest of colors, but next time you see it, think about all that the Lord has done for us.  For without Him, we may be facing a future of black.
