THE PURPLE ROBE OF A KING
Purple was the color of royalty, used by the soldiers to mock Jesus’ claim to be King.
Matthew 28:18, Revelation 19:16, Philippians 2:9-11
Every knee, every tongue, every thorn!
THE WOVEN ROBE OF A PRIEST
Why did John make a point to record that this robe was seamless, woven as one piece?
“Now this vesture was not composed of two pieces, nor was it sewed together upon the shoulders and the sides, but it was one long vestment so woven as to have an aperture for the neck.” Flavius Josephus (circa 100 AD)
Hebrews 4:14-16, Hebrews 2:17-18, Isaiah 53:3-9
THE BLACK ROBE OF SIN
(not an actual robe that Jesus physically wore)
He wore our filthy rags of sin!
2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 53:12
THE FINAL ROBE OF WHITE
Symbolizing redemption, purity, justice, victory, hero, divinity, glory!
Revelation 19:11-14, Revelation 7:14, Hebrews 9:28
Jesus is coming back! Embrace this life, but treasure eternity!
Who do you need Jesus to be today? The King of Kings, The High Priest, The Savior!
Church 29:11
