The famous wedding dress that Diana wore for her wedding to Charles has been cut into 4inch squares, which are available to buy for £1000 each. The designers say that possessing a piece will help the owner “step a bit closer to the woman who is still alive to so many throughout the world”. How strange! And how sad that people will fork out a load of money for what in reality is just a piece of cloth!
When someone turns from sin and trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ they also get a royal robe – they are scrubbed clean and given the righteousness of Christ. And it’s not just a piece they’re given, it’s all of it! And although the righteousness of Christ is beyond value they are given it all for absolutely free! At the end of time all those who belong to Jesus will be like a ‘bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Rev 21:2).
One of the songs we often sing in Townhill says ‘In royal robes I don’t deserve I live to serve your majesty’. Is that your story? Or are trusting in things that seem precious but in reality are worthless?
