“And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; and they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.”
Genesis 37:23-24 KJV
When Joseph finally caught up with his brothers, they seized him, stripped him off his ornamented robe, his beautiful full-length robe, and threw him into the dry, empty pit. Joseph’s life is a series of three robes: the ‘robe of favour’ given to him by his father and taken by his jealous brothers; the ‘stolen robe’ that the false accusations of Potiphar‘s wife ripped from him; and the ‘royal robe’ of reigning in Egypt as God’s saviour of Israel. Joseph’s life depict’s Christ’s. Jesus has covered us who believe in His death, burial and resurrection, with the robe of righteousness. It is a royal robe of favour to reign as Kingdom of God royals. Don’t let the enemy rip it off with false accusations. Let’s be faithful even in betrayal as we wear the robe of righteousness with Christ’s grace and reign in life! Amen!
