8He made the breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen. 9It was square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
10And they mounted on it four rows of gemstones:
The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
11the second row had a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12the third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13and the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.
These stones were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14The twelve stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
Clothes of righteousness! The Lord instructed them to make these and they were obedient, they did it just as God had said.
Isiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
What we put on is every bit important as what priests put on.
Jesus has become our high priest and He clothes us in His garments of salvation, in His righteousness.
If we could see ourselves in the spiritual realm, (our soul) after we came to Christ when He anoints us with the Holy Spirit, what do we look like? Marked as His, do we shine brightly with His colors? We are set apart from the ungodly!
Put on His clothes of righteousness, shine brightly in your world and let the unsaved know about Him.
Blessings, David
