Clothing If you were Sherlock Holmes, I asked, or a police investigator, what can you tell about us—individually or as a group—from what we’re wearing? Not jewelry, not face or hair, just the clothes …
Braden said he likes Madrid, which is what’s on his shirt. Lindy pointed out that the house is cool; almost everyone had long sleeves or a sweater.
I reminded us that Cathy Howe spoke one Sunday about old TV westerns, where the good guys wore white hats, and the bad guys wore black. She said God doesn’t see us that way, with white or black hats to identify us.
However, I think God does have a way of telling us apart by our clothes …
Psalm 30:11
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
Isaiah 61:10
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.
Revelation 3:4-5
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Galatians 3:26-27
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
