The garments, or clothing, that a person wears tell us much about them. Many children, when they go to school, wear uniforms. Perhaps your father wears work clothes on his job. People who live in very cold climates wear warm garments and those who live near the equator have light clothing. Sometimes you can tell if a person is rich or poor by their garments. Most mothers like to see their children dressed in clean clothing. There are many references in Scripture to people’s garments. Did you know that Israel’s priests had to wear holy garments (Exodus 28:2)? A man named Joshua was seen clothed with filthy garments (Zechariah 3:3), and the Gibeonites put on old garments (Joshua 9:5). Because cold weather was coming, the Apostle Paul wanted Timothy to bring the cloak he had left at Troas with him (2 Timothy 4:13). But, best of all, if you are a Christian, you can say, “He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness” (Isaiah 61:10). This garment can only be had by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
