“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 of his ornamental robe, his beautiful full length robe, and threw him into the dry, empty pit. If we remain faithful in a time of betrayal, we will be restored and wear the favour-garment once again. Joseph’s life is a series of three robes - the “robe of favour” given to him by Jacob 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 for Israel. Let’s allow our Lord to remove any robe that is a hindrance and when we wear the garment of salvation, Jesus puts on us the robe of His righteousness which He won for us through the Cross, so that we may reign with Him! Thank You Jesus!
