Colossians 3

What do your clothes say about the life you’re living? In Colossians 3, Paul uses the metaphor of changing clothes to describe stepping into a new humanity—a life characterized by compassion, kindness, and love. This reflection dives deep into what it means to shed the old patterns of anger, retaliation, and division and instead “put on” the transformative wardrobe of Christ. Drawing parallels to figures like Martin Luther King Jr., who practiced soul force over physical retaliation, it challenges us to love even our enemies with actions, not just feelings. Whether you’re navigating awkward family dynamics or facing societal injustices, the message reminds us that true freedom and grace come through a divine logic of love, not retaliation. How can this shift in perspective reshape your approach to conflict, forgiveness, and community? Discover how embracing this new wardrobe can change your world—and the world around you.
