Clothes Unfit for the Wedding

Filthy Clothes Revealed
Filthy Clothes Replaced

Joshua, who represented God’s people, was pictured has having filthy clothes. The Devil accused Joshua of not being fit to be a representative of God’s people who would lead the Jews in Jerusalem, rebuild the temple, and prepare for the expansion of the kingdom of God to the ends of the earth. But the Father spoke up…and rebuked the Devil for pointing out Joshua’s filthy clothes. God rebuked the Devil because new clothes had been bought by the Lord Jesus. What an encouragement this must have been for the Jews when they reflected on the meanness of their condition and when they felt incapable of restoring worship and building God’s kingdom.
Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. You are part of the wedding, with the right clothes, clothes that came from Jesus.

2. Having been given the right clothes, are you acting like the Bride of Christ? Are you walking together with the Lord? Are you staying close to him, to listen to him? Do you talk to him regularly?

3. Will you reproduce…bear children of the covenant? Sow the seed of the Gospel so many new lives can have new birth!
