Cast off the grave clothes..

When Jesus rose from the dead, He left his grave clothes in the tomb.

Let’s consider that again- He left his grave clothes in the tomb.

Why.

Jesus didn’t need them anymore.

They were obsolete garments.

Jesus was clothed in new garments and glory and resurrection power.

As believers in Jesus Christ we don’t need our grave clothes anymore.

If we are still wearing our grave clothes then it’s time..we need to cast them off.

We have been born again, raised to new life in Jesus and seated with Him in heavenly places.

We are clothed with the garment of salvation and a robe of righteousness.

Jesus has taken those stinking, heavy grave clothes and exchanged them for new heavenly robes.

It’s the divine exchange. Praise God.

Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.

John 20:3-7

Today is the day. Don’t put it off but seize hold of today.

It’s time to take off those old grave clothes and be clothed with the humility, love and the resurrection power of Christ Jesus.
