imagine Iff... part 2

Matthew 9:16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Imagine if the Kingdom of God were a pair of jeans. As Jesus goes on in explaining how the Kingdom of God "fits it" with the former relious experience of His hearers, He makes it clear that there is a significant, visible difference. Rather then self-righteously trying to look holy, or sincerely seeking to to purge the sin out of ourselves, the Kingdom of God is a whole new set of clothes. It's not a pair of jeans with a big patch on that has twisted and pulled. No, it fits us better and looks better; because we are clothed not in our righteousness, but His.
