Putting on the New Man
Colossians 3:9-14
Colin Beavis
We often identify people by the clothing they wear - people's occupation, gender, ethnic background, social grouping and so on are often seen by how they clothe themselves. In a similar way a Christian should be easily identified by how he or she is clothed - not in terms of physical garments, but in the attributes of Jesus that we choose to adorn ourselves with. In a similar way that we choose what clothes to put on each day, we choose what attitudes and behaviours we will exhibit also. This message explores what it means to be clothed with the character of Christ and challenges us to evaluate our own lives in the light of this biblical principle.
