What Clothes are we Wearing?
Zechariah 1-3; Luke 11
“Then he showed me Joshua, the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, ‘The Lord rebuke you, Satan!...Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?’…The angel said to those who were standing before him. ‘Take off his filthy clothes…See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.’”
Zechariah 3:1, 2, 4
Our filthy clothes represent sin in our lives that invites the accusations of Satan. Satan accuses us before God, but we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and through the word of our testimony as we love not our lives unto death (Revelation 12:11). The choice is ours. We either are overcome by sin and accusations, or we overcome sin and accusations through the blood of Christ who paid the penalty for our sin. In Christ we receive robes of righteousness, God’s righteousness, to replace our sin and self-righteousness. Only Christ can remove sin.
