Daily Meditation: Being Clothed in Christ

Monday June 4, 2012       Being Clothed in Christ  Being a believer means being clothed in Christ.  Paul says:  "Every one of you that has been baptised has been clothed in Christ"  (Galatians 3:26) and "Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 13:14).  This being "clothed in Christ" is much more than wearing a cloak that covers our misery.  It refers to a total transformation that allows us to say with Paul:  "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive;  yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me"  (Galatians 2:20). Thus, we are the living Christ in the world.  Jesus, who is God-made-flesh, continues to reveal himself in our own flesh.  Indeed, true salvation is becoming Christ.   Comment on this Daily Meditation.
