Purple Rain
The Word Made Flesh, Through Sorrow and Grace
“Purple Rain” is a deeply contemplative piece exploring the dichotomy of passion and sorrow in a world turned upside down. With poignant poetry, evocative imagery, and soul-stirring music, it invites viewers to reflect on struggles, faith, and the enduring hope found in God.
This visual and auditory journey illuminates how Christ sustains us amidst trials, offering beauty and purpose in pain: “He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Let the hues of purple symbolize both the royalty of Christ—“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession” (1 Peter 2:9)—and the agony He bore for our redemption: “He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him” (Isaiah 53:5).
As the world seems upside down, we are reminded not to conform to its patterns: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). Instead, we are called to engage culture through the lens of His truth and grace, just as “the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). In Christ, we find the ultimate assurance: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
