Proverbs 29:13
The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the
Lord lighteneth both their eyes.
The same standard is upon us all. We have ALL sinned and fallen short of the
glory of God. Rich man, wise man, poor
man and uneducated, we are all guilty and by the Lord’s grace we can see that
we are naked in His presence. There is
not a different standard for anyone. The
clothing we need is the righteousness of Christ. He lightens our eyes that we would have them
open and see our nakedness. This should
cause us to draw near to Him and be clothed upon with His righteousness – the
righteousness of God given through faith in Christ Jesus. Sinner, do you not know that you cannot enjoy
the bridegroom’s table without the clothing suited for such a noble
occasion? Do you not know that any sort
of garment you piece together to cover your shame is insufficient and
corrupted? Oh Lord, thank You that we can
come in to the supper of the Lamb. Thank
you that we have been clothed and what you caused us to see in ourselves, you
know no longer see. You see us as the
righteousness of God in Christ.
