Have you ever held a job where wearing a name tag was mandatory? This uniform was implemented to enable individuals who were approaching the employee to be able to recognize their affiliation with the store. While it should be readily apparent who the employee is, there is still a potential confusion between the employee and the customer. Various factors can contribute to this confusion, including the employee’s actions, demeanor, posture, and other relevant characteristics. This shows that it is evident that the appearance of an individual plays a significant role in determining who they are.
Thinking of the employee who is always ready to help, asking what they can do, and ensuring their attention to the customer eliminates any questions about their employment. When we consider employee identification, have we ever considered Christian identification? If we merely wear name tags without displaying Christian characteristics, confusion arises about who is a Christian and who is part of the world. As Christians, our goal should be to live in a way that people can observe our actions and see how we represent Christ.
