What To Wear?


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!
