Bible Text:
Mark 15:24 KJV
And when they had crucified Him,
they parted His garments, casting lots upon them, what every man
should take.
John 19:23,24 KJV
23 Then the
soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made
four parts to every soldier a part; and also His coat: now the coat
was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among
themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall
be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted
My raiment among them, and for My vesture they did cast lots. These
things therefore the soldiers did.
The garments of Jesus, consisted of a
loin cloth, the girdle (A belt of leather or linen, about ones waist.
The girdle could be folded back, the equivalent of today's pockets.)
the sandals, and the tunic (inner garment).
The tunic was seamless, we are told and
the soldiers did not want it cut up, so they bid lots to determine
who the owner would be.
Our Savior, died giving up everything
He had, even His clothes.
Mark 8:31 KJV
And He began to teach them, that The
Son Of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the
elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and
after three days rise again.
Our
Savior Clothed Today:
Isaiah 61:10 KJV
I will greatly
rejoice in The Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath
clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with
the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh Himself with
ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Luke 15:22 KJV (If true for a wayward son, how true for a
Faithful One.)
But the father
said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Revelation
1:12-18 KJV
12 And I turned
to see The Voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven
golden candlesticks;
13 And in the
midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto The Son Of Man, clothed
with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a
golden girdle.
14 His head and
His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were
as a flame of fire;
15 And His feet
like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice
as the sound of many waters.
16 And He had
in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two
edged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in His
strength.
17 And when I
saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon
me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am The First And The Last:
18 I am He that
liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell and of death.
One Day!
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises,
One day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
Dwelt among men, my example is He!
Refrain:
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
One day He’s coming—oh, glorious day!
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!
One day they left Him alone in the garden,
One day He rested, from suffering free;
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;
Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,
One day the stone rolled away from the door;
Then He arose, over death He had conquered;
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,
One day the skies with His glories will shine;
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Prayer:
John 1;12,13 KJV
12 But as many as received Him, to
them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
