God’s Power and Desire to Cleanse us

Zechariah 3:3-5

3 “Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord].”
4 “And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to [Joshua], Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.”
5 “And I [Zechariah] said, Let them put a clean turban on his head. So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with [rich] garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood by.”
• Zechariah 3:3-5 is a brief illustration of God’s Power and desire to cleanse us from sin.
• Have you ever had a piece of clothing ruined by a stain that would not come out? Our lives are stained by sin, and there is nothing we can do on our own to cleanse that stain.
• Yet God removed the stain of sin in our lives through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.
• If you have not already done so, acknowledge that your life is stained by sin and ask God for forgiveness.
• Rejoice that He will remove the stain of sin and clothe you with righteousness.

Father God, we ask You to forgive us of our sins. Thank You for removing our filthy garments and causing our iniquity to pass from us, and You clothe us with rich apparel, through the Sacrifice of Your Son Jesus. Thank You in Jesus’ Almighty name. Thank You, Jesus, for Your Great Sacrifice. You paid the price for our sins with Your Blood. You are Magnificent, words cannot describe Your Awesomeness.
Amen
