The Robe!
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 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 arobe 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! – Charles Spurgeon.
