“The entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and his life is all along but one impression of the seal. He is altogether complete; not only in his several parts, but as a gracious all-glorious whole. His character is not a mass of fair colours mixed confusedly, nor a heap of precious stones laid carelessly one upon another... As all the colours blend into one resplendent rainbow, so all the glories of heaven and earth meet in thee, and unite so wondrously, that there is none like thee in all things.” — Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening
The beauty of the rainbow is the unity in the diversity, the distinct colors standing side by side without blending or being confused with each other. This is exactly opposite of how it is currently being used as a symbol of those who would have everything brown. God is a unified whole, distinctions married by covenant, not blurred together by blending.
