He Wore Our Coat

They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb ( Revelation 7:14).

     God has only one requirement for entrance into heaven: that we be clothed in Christ. Listen to how Jesus describes the inhabitants of heaven: " They will walk with me and wear white clothes, because they are worthy...." ( Revelation 3:4). Listen to the description of the elders: " Around the throne there were...twenty-four elders.... They were dressed in white and had golden crowns on their heads" ( Revelation 4:4)... All are dressed in white. The saints. The elders.... How would you suppose Jesus is dressed? In white?... " He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God" ( Revelation 19:13).
     Why is Christ's robe not white? Why is his cloak not spotless? Why is his garment dipped in blood?... Paul says simply, " He changed places with us." ( Galatians 3:13) He wore our coat of sin to the cross.
