I'm not entirely sure how I feel reading this article...on one level its totally misinformed, irreverent and a violation of who Christ is. But then in another way, the author has somehow seemed to have grasped how beautiful, gracious and just His ways are...
Yet to have all that Jesus stood for, reduced to a mere fashion fad?...And then to read that Christ is hot and on trend? Isn't that kind of totally inappropriate??? I'm thinking on some level, absolutely Yes...but if truth be told, knowing that Jesus Christ has become á la Mode, somehow kind of thrills me! To think masses of people are going to all of a sudden deem Christ attractive because Vogue - society's long reigning fashion Bible, says so...that untold fashion followers will be compelled to Google the Lamb of God to find out why this dude is dictating the trends...to know that His name is going to be splashed across fashion magazines, tabloids and style blogs simply delights me...because for Jesus to become fashionable - that's big news - to have Him show up in the fashion industry in this way is pretty darn exciting...to think He is this season's Must Have look (even with all the misconceptions) is most definitely encouraging...
Yet let's face it, confining Christ to a mere season just won't cut it...He is not someone you can adorn for Autumn/Winter and then ditch in the Spring/Summer for a newer fad...His style is eternal...so as excited as I am that Christ is on trend, I refuse to believe that He will be just a passing fad. He is not here for a mere season...instead I am convinced that He is so ready to permeate the fashion industry, so willing to arrest the hearts of the fashionistas, the style queens and trendsetters alike, that He will be far more than even a classic that never dates...but that He would become the indelible, eternal wardrobe essential that people would choose to literally never ever be seen dead without. x
