Eyes that speak [Matthew 13 v 10-17]

In the movie the ,Book Thief,the young Jew in hiding,asks the young girl,
what was the day like,she gives him the usual answer.He was not satisfied with her answer, so he says,/if your eyes could speak what would they say?/
and so she spoke in a different way,not just in a black and white manner,but in the language of the colours  of the rainbow. There are so many people who are colour blind,as to what they see ,they refuse to let their eyes speak.The people who opposed Jesus saw things in black and white,when he healed someone they said a Sabbath breaker,when He fed people,they only saw someone who could provide a meal ticket,when he delivered the demon possessed ,they charged Him in being in league with the Devil.The people in his home town could only see the carpenters son, others could only see Him as a prophet,a teacher,all of them only saw with their eyes,black and white,instead of the colours of  the rainbow.When you look at Jesus,is it just in black and white,or is it in the colours of the rainbow?,in other words,if your eyes could speak,what would they say?
                                     A prayer.
Dear God let us not be condemned to seeing  in black and white,help us to
see Jesus as to whom He really is,help us to see the colours of the rainbow,in Jesus name Amen.
