Paul’s
fashion advice to the Colossians begins with the remembrance of who they are in
Christ. Remember you are chosen by God. Remember you are holy and beloved or in
other words remember you are a desirable object of God’s affection. So what to
wear? Paul’s list should simplify our selection and would if not for closets
filled with thoughts and ways of being that don’t fit or have worn out or were
never very attractive in the first place. And cleaning out the closet is
painful even when helped by loving admonishment. But in the end cleaning our
closets and improving our fashion sense is only possible if we are helped by
those who bear with us and forgive us and encourage and compliment us. You look
good in kindness.That compassion really sets off the color of your eyes.
You make that patience work, girl. So what to wear? Remember to put on Christ
and everything else will fit perfectly.
