Emphasis Preaching Journal

In Steven Spielberg's movie, Schindler's List, there is a little girl in the midst of the crowd heading for the ovens whom Schindler sees, for some reason, as standing out. Spielberg highlights her in an otherwise black-and-white film by tinting her in living colors. Blond hair, a red coat. He watches her for a long time, until she disappears from his view. When he later passes a heap of bodies, she is again highlighted for us, as Schindler, with a shock, recognizes her. Mary Magdalene is like that in the gospel accounts.
