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 28:22And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. (Exodus 28:2))? A man named Joshua was seen clothed with filthy garments (Zechariah 3:33Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. (Zechariah 3:3)), and the Gibeonites put on old garments (Joshua 9:55And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. (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 4:1313The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. (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 61:1010I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)). This garment can only be had by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
