works of mercy: clothe the naked by ric gustafson
In Luke 12:23 Jesus tells us that the body is more than clothes. Clothes also express the heart of the wearer. There are people all over the world who cannot afford clothes. Jesus said that he was naked and we clothed him. When we clothe someone who does not have any clothes, we are clothing Jesus.
When we clothe someone, we are giving someone dignity which makes Jesus happy. Clothes were made for man not man for clothes.
Jesus wants us to put on the new man and put off the old man.
