Well, for one thing it is a token of respect and dignity. If you were told that you had an interview with Christ Jesus, how would you prepare? You probably wouldn't try to impress Him with your clothing, but you would wear clothing that indicated your respect for Him, wouldn't you? I would then wear clothing that had meaning to me and him. If that means a certain T-shirt or special pair of ceremonial jeans well than fine. I doubt he wants us to conform to what OTHER people think is a good way to dress. Indications of respect are personal and not to be flaunted before others as the tax collectors do. - John
