Growing up infatuated with the Dark Knight allowed me to savor all the more the metaphor that sprung up tonight: a batsignal relationship with God. Commissioner Gordon in seeking Bruce's assistance projected a lone beacon skyward to attract his attention. Inevitably, it triggered a response.
That is the same way most view their walk with God -- this personal one-on-one call and response. Only, God doesn't see it that way. He is not at your beck and call.
The other problem with that relationship is that it presumes that the one-on-one is the correct lens. In fact, His bride is referred to as a whole and not a singular. You are not His bride. We are.
If this relationship is true in the least, He is the Commissioner. And that signal is no lone beacon meant for one. Will you respond?
