What do you wear?

Today has been such an awesome day. i was listening to podcast from years ago from my pastor and it spoke volumes to my heart. i would love to share. Its about staples of our faith. and the thought of this sermon was what type of christian are you? look in your closet and find something to wear for church.
you see the 7 piece suit: flashy flambouant. ALL ABOUT THE BIG SHOW. the looks and the light shining on you. but there is no substance on the inside. you would be actually trying to "pimp" Jesus out. trying to get gains from Him. yeah, it looks awesome but there is nothing on the inside.

then you see the camo jacket. hiding, nobody knows you know Jesus Christ. so you could go to a bar and hang with negative people and they wont know the difference if you were a christian or not. you can blend in and you can do that "one" thing where no one can see it.

looking even further in the closet and you see the plain blue blazer....you can wear with anything, brown shoes black shoes..green shirt or yellow shirt. nothing to it. you wont take a risk for your faith. if you had the opportunity to witness to someone, you would probably walk away. plain jane christian

then all the way in the back you find a poncho...something you probably wouldnt wear to church. but look at what it does. during some of the biggest storms out there, it protects you from getting wet. God wants us to wear Him as protection. Galatians 3:27 says: Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe-Christ's life, the fulfillment of God's original promise. With Him nothing can overtake you. you arent pimping Jesus, nor hiding. Your light shines to others and if you live life Christ, im can assure you, people will notice.

i know its hard this day and age, but honestly read Revelation 21. about New Jerusalem. Do you see whats in store for us? i couldnt use my wildest imagination to see something so beautiful. I WILL WALK ON STREETS OF GOLD. nothing can better than living with The Master. His lights will illuminate our world. if that isnt icing on the cake right there. i want to be like Christ every second of the day because i know whats in store for me in eternity.


well there will be more later. im going to bed. nite
