“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27).
During a recent trip that we made, we had the opportunity of sitting in a number of airports, watching the people walk by. Quite a few wore T-shirts with slogans printed on either the front or back of them. Some of these read, “I’m NOT sorry,” “Born for greatness,” or “I need my space.” All of these slogans conveyed a message that the person wanted to communicate about himself or herself.
But then, on one occasion, we had arranged to meet a Christian young man whom we had not met before. When he approached us in the lobby of the hotel, his T-shirt had a Bible verse across the front. We knew instantly that he was the person we were supposed to meet. His “slogan” did not give a message about himself, but rather about his Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ.
When we are baptized, we put on the name of Christ. In our everyday lives, do we give others a message about Christ, either by what we wear, or how we act?
