Covered With Jesus’ Robe Of Righteousness

Covered With Jesus’ Robe Of Righteousness

Leviticus 1:6
⁶And he shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into its pieces.

Do you know who in the Bible first clothed man with coats of skin? It was God Almighty Himself, when He found Adam and Eve hiding behind the bushes after hearing His voice! They had become fearful and conscious that they had sinned against God. In his sin-consciousness, Adam realised that he was naked and that the glory of God which was his covering was gone.

So God killed an animal to clothe Adam and Eve with coats of skin. (Genesis 3:21) An animal had to die and its bloodied skin was their covering. This speaks of the blood of Jesus that covers you when He became your burnt offering. The Lamb of God did not just take away your sins. He also gave you His righteousness.

You are covered by Jesus’ blood. You are righteous by His blood. God has clothed you with the robe of righteousness which was paid for by Jesus’ blood. I am not talking about a physical robe made of cloth. I am talking about the robe of righteousness that was on Jesus when He said to the storm, “Peace, be still!” and there came a perfect calm (Matthew 8:23–27), when healing flowed from Him to the sick and when He raised Lazarus from the dead. (John 11:38–44)

When you believe that you are righteous because of Jesus’ blood, you will see the effects of wearing Jesus’ robe of righteousness. You will see miracles happening before your very eyes. You become a blessing magnet, a favour and grace magnet. And it is not your righteousness, but the robe of righteousness of Jesus you have put on, which is attracting all these blessings of God in your life.

My friend, have the consciousness of being clothed with Jesus’ own robe of righteousness. Every day, come to God and say, “Father, I thank You that Jesus is my burnt offering. He covers me from head to toe with His righteousness. What He is to You, I am. As He is now, so am I. I am in Him.” And you will see the manifestations of the blessings of health, wholeness, protection and prosperity that the robe attracts!
