Robes

Robes, Col. 3:9-10 (The Mirror Bible), “That old life was a lie, foreign to our design! Those garments of disguise are now thoroughly stripped off us in our understanding of our union with Christ in His death and resurrection. We are no longer obliged to live under the identity and rule of the robes we wore before, neither are we cheating anyone through false pretensions. (The garments an actor would wear define his part in the play but cannot define him.) We stand fully identified in the new creation renewed in knowledge according to the pattern of the exact image of our Creator.

“The revelation of Christ in us gives identity to the individual beyond anything anyone could ever be as a Greek or a Jew, American or African, foreigner or famous, male or female, king or pawn. From now on everyone is defined by Christ; everyone is represented in Christ.”

In Christ we can remove the robes of shame, guilt, false identity — whatever we wore to feel better about ourselves. Being a new creation in Christ is freedom from all the lies the enemy tells you. You are a child of the King! You don’t have to pretend to be anyone different.

Jesus has a new robe for you. Wear it proudly!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
