Clothes are a big deal. The right ones can cost – sometimes more than we or our family can really afford. Looking right is so important in our perfect picture world. We judge by outside things. Jesus was stripped of his clothing in front of a whole crowd of people. He stood without the comfort and dignity of clothes – stripped of his dignity like a criminal. What did he feel?
Silence
Prayer. Jesus, forgive us for the times we have cared for the way people look than who they are. Help us never to value things more than people and their needs. Teach us how to follow you.
