Appearance is very important to our society. However, Christ is not a mask or a costume. He doesn't hide who we are, and he doesn't make us appear as something we are not. If we are taught that we must make others see Christ in us we should realize that is separating us from him. If we are taught that others must see us as Christ we should realize that is also separating us from him. Life in Christ does not require us to recognize something separate within us and attempt to encourage or allow it to take over by an overt act of our will or for such appearances to be validated by others.
