WHERE ARE YOU GOING DRESSED LIKE THAT?
“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. … And over all these virtues put on love …” (Colossians 3:12, 14, NIV)
Sometimes when I’m about to leave the house, my wife stops me and says, “Are you serious? You can’t go into public dressed like that! Really?” It’s usually something about the shirt not matching my pants or the color of my slacks being out of sync with my sport coat. I used to get insulted when she questioned my fashion sense, but I’ve come to realize she knows what she’s talking about. It took me several years, but I’ve come to realize she’s always right!
Scripture often calls us to “put on” attitudes and actions that match our identity in Christ. Sometimes we are known by the clothes we wear, but we can make Jesus known to others by wearing attitudes and actions that show His presence in our lives.
The apostle Paul advised us to set the fashion standard by modeling the wardrobe of Jesus’ “compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness.” And, he added, “above all these things put on love . . . . And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:14-15, NIV).
Clothing ourselves in Jesus’ likeness begins with spending time with Him. If you hear Him say, “You can’t go out like that!”, let Him take you back into the closet for a wardrobe change. Clothing ourselves with Jesus’ attitudes and actions shows His presence in our lives.
