What to wear? The girls
in our family are slightly focused on what to wear to a big family wedding
coming up. Dresses are being sewn, fitted, and tried on. But what to wear to a
funeral? To my funeral. My focus the past few weeks has been to die to myself
and have Christ fully live in me. So you could say I’m choosing what to wear at
my funeral celebration. The letter to the Colossians gives me instruction on
what is fashionable at one’s funeral.
“You’re done with that old life. It’s like a filthy
set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire. Now you’re
dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by
the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete…Dress
in the wardrobe God picked out for you- kindness, compassion, discipline, quiet
strength, and humility.”
Colossians 3 - The
Message
The best designer label
ever! God’s name!
