Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put beautiful garments on you. Zechariah 3:3, 4 NIV
God’s grace can remove our filthy clothes which is our own activities and attitudes in sin, not someone else's. See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put beautiful garments on you. His grace can cleanse, refresh and renew our emotions and our mind, all of which impact our body. Notice that God’s grace comes without any ridicule, condemnation or accusations. He did not call Joshua stupid, brain dead or some kind of looser. Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” What God does through Jesus Christ can take off our filthy clothes, which has the potential of encouraging those around us. In grace our life becomes new again and we find ourselves rediscovering the beauty of life without feeling filthy. Today may you be blessed with this beautiful garment of grace that is yours. Living in his grace has no remorse or sorrow at all. In fact words, actions and tones of grace will refresh your life. In grace life is awakened and a new journey begins. See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put beautiful garments on you. Enjoy! |
