It's a word whose meaning has been watered down in recent years. It is derived from a Latin term meaning worthy. I am reminded of Paul's letter to Ephesus in which he exhorts them to "walk worthy of the vocation by which you are called." That is true dignity. To represent our Lord and Saviour well in the ministry which he called us to do.
A great man of God from my church recently went home to be with Jesus. From the time Christ saved him until that final moment, Dr. Allen was a man of dignity as Paul has described. Now he awaits the rest of us who are still in the race. May we all aspire to the same dignity.
