New Easter Clothes
Macy’s is having a sale! But I’m so excited to announce that I’ve already got my Easter outfit! I have to say that this garment is beautiful! Most people select spring colors like lavender and pink. But I let someone else pick my clothes out.
I don’t usually tell people what I am wearing, but when you get a great deal like this one, it’s hard to keep quiet. Speaking of clothes, this reminds me of a passage I was reading in St. John 20:12. This is where two angels were sitting down in the tomb of Jesus. I pondered why they were sitting. I figure if angels come all the way from heaven, they have a job to do. But as I continued to read the scriptures, I understood. The angels had already done the work they were sent from heaven to do. They had rolled away the stone.
But what else did they do? Well, I believe they brought our Savior his Easter clothes. In St. John 20:6-7, it speaks about the pre resurrection clothes lying neatly in the place where he had been earlier. The piece that had earlier been wrapped around his head was also there.
Since Jesus was wearing different clothes, Mary thought he was the gardener. He had on an entirely different outfit on his new resurrected body. However, she did recognize his voice. He called her my name. This, my friends, is the beginning of wearing new clothes on Easter Sunday.
So when Easter Sunday or Resurrection Day comes, I’ll wear the Righteousness of Jesus. As a matter of fact, I’m wearing it right now. I exchanged my clothes of filth, carnality and selfishness for what he offered me. It’s such a wonderful fit. Sure sometimes I feel unworthy to wear such an expensive covering. But then I remember how much he paid for it just so I could wear it, it makes me feel good from the inside out. So now, I don’t have to go all over town trying to find something to wear.
Jesus has clothed me in his righteousness so that I can have my beautiful Easter clothes on Resurrection Sunday. That makes the day all about him, and not about me. Well that’s my story from where I sit. If you get a chance, please take time to see the film “Risen” this spring season. It will be a blessing. Remember Godlovespraise.com
