1. The color of our purple paraments is rich and beautiful!
2. When John the Baptist was in prison, he sent some of his disciples to question Jesus about whether He was the Messiah promised in the Scriptures. Jesus responded, and then talked to the crowds about John. "What did you go out to see?" He said, “Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in
luxury are in kings’ courts” (Luke 7).
1+2 = The guy reading that Gospel to us on Sunday was "gorgeously appareled" in a purple chasuble.
Given the context of what Jesus was talking about, the gorgeous apparel kind of shook me up there for a moment. But I guess when we are in the Divine Service, we are living in luxury; we are in the King's court.
