Zechariah 3
Using imagery, God delivers a message to Joshua - the high priest - that we have a God that cleanses our sin. We know that this God is Jesus Christ. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) so we all need God to forgive us and to free us from the sting of sin and death.
We also see a prophecy of Jesus emphasizing this same point:
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, I know You are able...able to do all things. You are the maker of all things, in all things, before all things and You hold all things together. You are all powerful and all knowing. You know everything about me, including my sin...and You forgive and remove my sin - thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love because I continue to worry. Please forgive me and help me turn from such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects from chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, the church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you. v4
