Let bear on my body the marks of Jesus

Galatians 6:11-18
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
Let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Why?
At this point Paul takes the pen from his secretary to write the last lines himself. For him there is only one thing worth glorying in(在誇耀): the power of the cross of Christ to re-create and transform human live.
Like the brand burned onto a slave the scars Paul bears from his work for Christ show to whom he belongs.
Am I belong to Christ Jesus? Do I have the mark of Christ let people know whom I belong?
New creation life through Jesus Christ  in me is more important then any laws or rules.
How?
Let bear on my body the marks of Jesus
