Galatians 3:27 As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
When I look at myself in the mirror each morning I see the faults. I see the graying (or blonding) hairs in the beard. I see the pounds that shouldn't be there. I see the bags under my eyes. I see the faults. And, being perfectly honesty, I often see the faults in other people too. I see their strange sense of fashion. I see their personality quirks and their irritableness. I see what bothers me about them.
It's a good reminder that when God looks at us, God doesn't see those things. We've been clothed with Christ. When God looks at us, all that God sees is Christ. God sees purity that isn't there. God sees innocence that's been lost. God sees worthiness that was never there. It's a good reminder. And for some mornings... for today.... that's enough.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
