Message: John 19:23-24
Today we’ll look at God’s promise in the garment as another
of the gifts God has given to us. Jesus’ robe was a gift, well crafted, and
represented the life he lived. Robes were given as gifts from a family when a
young man left home. According to rabbinic tradition, a robe represented the
family name and tribe. Jesus’ robe was of excellent quality. The Roman soldiers
did not want to tear something valuable apart. At the cross, the soldiers took
Jesus’ seamless robe from him. He wore the ugly garment of nakedness,
indignity, and failure. He wore our sin.
