Our Christian identity means we should look, talk, think, and act differently. It’s all about what we choose to wear — and that has nothing to do with designer brands or fabric blends. Paul instructs the Colossians — and by extension, us — to put on the clothes of: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Take a moment to look and pray over that list. Does it describe you? As a parent, spouse, worker, or friend? Clothing is great imagery because we can easily understand that while we may not naturally be or feel some of these traits we can choose to, like clothes, put them on. As we get rooted deeper in Christ we become more and more clothed like Christ.
