Clothed In Christ
In Colossians 3:12, St Paul tells us to put on those garments which suit God's chosen and beloved people: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12). And yet our own life experiences can dress us somewhat differently. In this course of six sessions, which include in-depth explorations of the theme, discussion questions, group activities, key words and texts, and prayer suggestions, author Raymond Tomkinson explores the Christian journey from innocence, through sin and redemption, to finally being fully clothed in Christ. By examining how we burden ourselves with sin, hurt, sorrow, grief, and withholding forgiveness, this helps us to realise how the redeeming love of Christ can truly change us all.
