We humans clothe ourselves and we use words; two ways in which we differ from other animals. We use words: Words in our minds; Words in our mouths; Words on computers; Words in writing. We clothe our minds with words and we clothe our bodies with garments. Words are that with which the mind clothes itself and if words are clothing for the mind, then the Christ is clothing for the mind of God: Christ who is the Word of God. The Logos. So by clothing ourselves with Christ, taking to heart Christ’s words and putting those words into action, we clothe ourselves with the clothing of God; the clothing which is what God’s own mind takes for clothing. This sets us apart from the animals.
