On Sunday, October 27th at Immanuel Church in Wright City, Missouri, we will be thinking and praying over the teaching in Scripture that teaches us to cloth ourselves in Jesus Christ. It is a fascinating and crucial aspect of belonging to Him who died for us - to put Him on and wear His wonderful attributes. Dressing ourselves up in Him means, among many things, to consciously picture ourselves in Him, thinking of ourselves as the Father thinks about us when we trust that the righteous perfect loving life of our Lord is considered our own. The dress code for heaven is perfection. Our Lord Jesus stated it quite clearly "You must be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect" and so we will think of how we get dressed up in our Lord Jesus. We will think about the Holy Spirit as our tailor as He produces a custom courture design for us to wear that we can call LJPPKFGS. We will think of ourselves as being dressed up for eternity in a garment made for us out of the pure Lambs wool of the Lamb of God, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We will keep in mind that we can't make for ourselves the clothing that will get us into the Heavenly banquet. We need to be in Him, dressed up in His perfection and we will enjoy thinking of how this wonderful dress/suit of righteousness is tailored and made for us. We will all be wearing red and white to worship this Sunday to help us think about the purity and the royal blood of Christ that makes us acceptable in the Father's mansion.
Here is the passage that ought to fascinate our souls Romans 13:11-14
11And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.c
