Well, Ben, if you saw me dressed in blue and I was passing out fruit, what I was giving was the truth. Blue is truth. When I’m robed in blue, I am speaking the truth. If I am robed in red, then it is really nothing but love. I mean sacrificial love to the point of self-sacrifice. If I was speaking the truth and willing to sacrifice myself to defend that truth, I am clothed in purple, the robe of Christ. You saw me in blue and I was giving out fruit, I was feeding whoever would come with the truth. The truth is not always accepted. One would think the truth would be completely accepted and would storm the hearts of men, but not against tradition, not against the beliefs in which you were born, raised in a certain tradition, certain habits, certain thoughts, certain religions. So, you ask a person who is a Jew, “Why are you a Jew?” and he was born one. “Why are you a Christian?” and he was born one. Did he actually investigate it and accept it? No, he was born in the environment and he will simply, well, that’s his religion. Why is this one a Moravian and one is a Lutheran and one is an evangelist? They were born in it. These things drop truth when it comes into the world. One has to separate themselves from the obvious and let the truth come through. When it comes through it tells them. Well, they say, who is this one? He has no learning; we know him, his father, his mother, his brothers, his sisters, we know all about him. How can he speak like this? How could he claim that all that was ever said in scripture is said of him? So, if you saw me clothed in blue on the top of a mountain giving out fruit to those who came pale of face, I hope that they all accepted it then…because we are all one.876 ¶38
