Who are you wearing? - Audio

There is something emboldening and celebratory about the gathering of a sports team or even a military unit that knows that it is going to win a contest. It is this sense of celebration that we are invited to take into "the lockerroom" of our faith as we don the armor of God to fight in a contest that He has already won in Jesus Christ. We are invited not to take on abstract pieces of armor, or abstract rules from Deuteronomy, but rather, these pieces of armor point to the totality of what Paul has been talking about our taking on from the very beginning of this book - the person of Jesus Christ who is given to us as a Gift, so that we might celebrate by Being this Gift for others.
