Imaging an orange! All you can see is the peel. You don’t have to peel it to know what’s inside. The outside is consistent with the inside. Now think of a gift box. To know what’s inside you have to unwrap it. The outside is not the same as the inside. The inside is a surprise. Most of the time we are like gift boxes, surprises. Some have prettier wrapping paper or flashier bows than others, but nevertheless gift boxes. Too seldom are we oranges. Too seldom are we authentic.
