“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.”
Zechariah 3:1 KJV
The high priest Joshua was standing in the Presence of God and Satan was resisting him. The high priest daily cleansed himself so that he could go in the Presence of God on that one day - the day of atonement. Outwardly he wore the beautiful high priestly garments yet inwardly he was clothed in filthy garments before God’s Presence. In the spirit Satan is constantly accusing us because he knows our inner motives which are not hidden before God. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. In the new covenant, we have Jesus our High Priest, Who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, not by the blood of bulls and goats, but by His Own Precious Blood! His Blood has caused iniquity to pass from us as we are being purified and Satan cannot accuse us as we are redeemed from his hand by Jesus’s Blood. Jesus clothes us with His righteousness as we keep our inner motives pure before God. Let’s not wear beautiful clothes on the outside but have filthy garments on the inside. Let’s come out of any form of hypocrisy. Let’s continuously keep our relationship with the Holy Spirit clear acknowledging our hidden sins and asking for Jesus’s Blood to cleanse us as He is faithful and just to forgive us. Let’s be pure in heart so we can see God!
