From Spurgeon's, "The Treasure of Grace" God's children are wrapped around with a robe, a seamless robe, which earth and heaven could not buy the like of if it, were it once lost. For texture it excels the fine linen of the merchants; for whiteness it is purer than the driven snow; no looms on earth could make it, but Jesus spent his life to make my robe of righteousness. There was a drop of blood in every throw of the shuttle, and every thread was made of his own heart's agonies. It is a robe that is divine, complete; a better one than Adam wore in the perfection of Eden. Adam had but a human righteousness though a perfect one, but we have a divinely perfect righteousness. Strangely, my soul, are you arrayed, for your Savior's garment is on you- the royal robe of David is wrapped about his Jonathan. Look at God's people as they are clothed also in the garments of 'sanctification'. Was there ever such a robe as that? It is literally stiff with jewels. Every day he arrays the lowliest of his people as though it were a wedding day. He arrays them as a bride adorns herself with jewels. He will have them dressed in gold of Ophir. What riches of grace then must there be in God who thus clothes his children! |
