Two of the definitions for the word “change” include, “a
change of clothes” and “substitution.” When Jesus died for us on the cross and
rose again from the dead, He offered to us a substitution for sin. He offers us
a change of spiritual clothing. The spiritual realm, both evil and good, can
see that we belong to Jesus.
You are clothed
with Christ and with His righteousness.
I delight
greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For He has clothed me in
garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of His righteousness, as a
bridegroom adorns his head like a priest and like a bride adorns herself with
her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
Therefore
as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with
compassion and kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
For all
of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Galatians 3:27
Clothed with Christ
and arrayed with His salvation and righteousness as a bride adorns herself with
jewels. You are covered with the beauty and glory of Christ. Live as His child.
You are covered with hope and adorned with light, now and forevermore.
Jesus,
We clothe ourselves with You. You have saved us from our sins
and promise us eternal life. It is the only true hope for us on earth. Adorn us
for the journey today.
Amen
