Episode Notes
Luke 2:12; Mark 6:56; John 13:3-5; Matthew 27:27-28
John 19:23-24 ... When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also His tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.”
Jesus was willing to give the shirt off His back... Don't miss the REASONS why
1. Jesus surrendered His divine garments to RESCUE us
Philippians 2:5-8 ... Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
2. Jesus sacrificed His human garments to REDEEM us
Colossians 1:13-14 ... He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
3. Jesus supplies His righteous garments to RENEW us
Galatians 3:27 ... For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Through the garments He shed... Jesus is making ALL things new.
Revelation 21:1-5 ... Then I saw a new Heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
