”So the angel of the Lord spoke to those standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes!” Then he said to him, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with festive robes.”“
Zechariah 3:4 CSB
Zechariah continues to bring good news to Gods people telling them of how completely He transforms them. In this scene he looks into heaven and sees the High Priest (most religious person in their people) wearing clothes covered in feces…with Satan at his side accusing him of all of the sin he has ever committed! From the outside the High Priest is hopeless, and helpless…there is nothing he can do to fix this situation.
Then God steps in, removes his disgusting clothes and gives him perfect clothes fit for a celebration and a new head covering, so now he looks OK. Then the miraculous, God tells him not only is he clean on the outside, but all the sin he has ever committed is now gone forever!
This is a picture of what God does for us at salvation! I love how God chose to use the most perfect person as the example and he was still disgusting! Sometimes we look at a pastor, or someone we think has really got it all together…but they still have the same problem as us in Gods presence. Thankfully the solution is the same as well, go to Jesus for transformation!
Lord, I am so thankful that you saved me…you have done all the work to clean me inside and out. You did it all…my only part is recognizing You are the solution and that I am helpless on my own. Help me to love You and follow You every moment today, because I don’t deserve all that You have done for me!
