Clothed in Righteousness

I found the following note while cleaning my office today. I believe I wrote it during an Afshin Ziafat sermon:

Its an interesting thought that because of Christ’s propitiatory death we get to stand in front of the Father in Christ’s glorious robe of life rather than the grave clothes of Lazarus. Christ died wearing our clothes of sin, death, and filth and then calls us in our death and filth out of the grave to clothe us in righteousness, that we might become the righteousness of Christ, so that when we stand in front of the Father on that day he will see Christ in us and say “well done my good and faithful servant.” Christ in us is indeed our hope of glory. Amen!
