Clothed in Christ

As we talk about where or who you once were apart from Christ, then we must also talk about where you now are and who you now are in Christ. The Scriptures talk about putting on Christ. That is, you are clothed in Christ. In a sense, Jesus is not only in you, He is on you, all around you, covering you from head to toe.

He covers you for grace and for good. He covers up your sins so that you appear as He is, transformed in garments brilliantly white. The blotch of sin and death is no longer your identity, but rather, the brilliance and sinlessness of Jesus Christ.

How can this be? Because your faith in Jesus is reckoned to you as righteousness, as if you were clothed in the white robe of Jesus, Himself. This meal represents the body and blood of Christ, given for you that completely covers you inside and out. Clothed in Christ, there is nothing else you need in order to stand in the presence of God without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Glory be to God in the Highest. Amen.
