Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 13:14, NLT)
That paraphrase really resonated with me.
Usually, when I read that verse, I think merely of putting on Christ’s character.
But more than that, I want to be clothed with his presence like Moses was, shining with God’s glory after meeting with him. (Exodus 34:29)
True transformation comes not from sheer effort or willpower, but by continually gazing into Christ’s beauty and being blown away by who he is.
Or as Paul put it,
We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at, the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
Lord Jesus, I draw near to you. Clothe me with your presence as you did with Moses. Clothe me with yourself.
