Pat's Ponderings

just thinking out loud...


Oddly enough, I picked up reading through some of the Minor Prophets this past week and have found the prophet Zechariah to have had a ton of insight into the story of our Redemption through Jesus Christ. Of course, I suppose he should have a lot of insight, being inspired by the Holy Spirit and all. Anyway, I was sitting in Starbucks earlier today and read the following passage:
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments." And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing by.
-Zechariah 3:1-5
How sweet is that picture? A wonderful representation of the salvation that Jesus has purchased for us by His blood. May we learn to walk in the joy of clean garments!
