He Wore Our Coat

He Wore Our Coat

They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:14

God has only one requirement for entrance into heaven: that we be clothed in Christ.

Listen to how Jesus describes the inhabitants of heaven: “They will walk with me and will wear white clothes, because they are worthy . . .” (Rev. 3:4).

Listen to the description of the elders: “Around the throne there were . . . twenty-four elders. . . . They were dressed in white and had golden crowns on their heads” (Rev. 4:4). . . .

All are dressed in white. The saints. The elders. . . . How would you suppose Jesus is dressed? In white? . . . “He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God” (Rev. 19:13).

Why is Christ’s robe not white? Why is his cloak not spotless? Why is his garment dipped in blood? . . . Paul says simply, “He changed places with us” (Gal. 3:13). . . .

He wore our coat of sin to the cross.
