Naturalists claim that butterflies in the Kallima family are capable of a special disappearing performance. These insects, often known as "dead-leaf butterflies," have dazzling colours on the upper sides of their wings, but their undersides are strikingly dull and feature the lines and markings of a dead leaf.
This butterfly produces a burst of colour while flying that both friends and enemies can see. However, the colours vanish when it lands, and it turns into a "dead leaf." Because of the vein-like appearance of its wings and the patterns that resemble holes and fungus, it practically disappears. It even moves like a leaf when the wind blows.
Sometimes, in order to avoid being seen, Christians adopt the appearance of the world.
In John 12, this is what certain religious leaders did. They had a faith in Jesus, but they kept it a secret out of concern for their status (v. 42). When we feel threatened, we shouldn't hastily blend in with our surroundings; instead, we should be constant, displaying our support for the Lord on all occasions.
Yes, we can hide from the world's contempt by doing so, but that only proves that we value human acclaim over divine praise (v. 43). Keep your testimony unambiguous at all times and in all situations.
Instead of trying to hide who you are, try harder to be who you should be. Lord of my life, from now on I go around calling myself a Christian; therefore, O Christ, let my spirit claim and make me deserving of Your Name.
