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.
