The garments that Jesus wears are unparalleled in majesty and glory, shining like the sun in its full strength.
“O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment.”
They are radiant, intensely white, brighter than anyone on earth could bleach them because they reflect His righteousness and purity:
“I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.”
Even the mere hem of His garment was powerful enough to dispel the longstanding curse of sin in the hearts of all who touched it.
How amazing, then, that He clothes us with this same holy vesture! We who draped Him with purple robes to mock Him and then stripped Him bare to kill Him are now clothed in His grace and glory.
Without Him we cling to the rags of our own filthy righteousness that can neither protect us nor hide our nakedness. But Jesus spreads His cloak over us like the wings of a kinsman-redeemer, and His banner over us is love.
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”
Jesus not only makes our garments white by washing them in His holy blood, He makes us breathtakingly beautiful:
“All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. In many-colored robes she is led to the king.”
And this beauty is imperishable, incorruptible, and unassailable, a breastplate of righteousness that guards our hearts until the last day.
Lord, your glory knows no end just as the train of Your robe fills them temple. Let us always and forever be found in the heavenly wedding clothes which You freely provide to all who ask!
