The visual language is an objective language. The language uses words to represent objects rather than sets of contextual definitions.
In this section, I will be using the visual language to interpret scripture. This is something I encourage you to do on your own as well. After you have seen a few examples, you should be able to see for yourself the power of visual language. The results will be surprising.
In many of the parables, Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is like. Parables will give us insight into the kingdom of heaven not available anywhere else. Placing the parables in the model allows us to see how each parable fits into the bigger picture. Things missing in the parables become evident when seen in context.
Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, specifically 2 Corinthians 4, illustrates the concept of the inner man and the outward appearance, the realm visible to God and the realm visible to all. This richness of this chapter cannot be appreciated without the model.
Romans 6 was the first chapter I memorized. Forty years later I am just beginning to understand this complicated passage. The last verse in this chapter is the one that is most familiar, yet it is the one most misunderstood. This verse must be understood in context.
