Pastor David McGee’s Devotional 7th May 2021 Friday Message
But God…
Zechariah 3:1
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. NKJV
Dear Friend,
Enter the courtroom. There you stand before the Judge. He is perfect, holy and knows all of your sins and failures. Next to you is your accuser who also has your records and proclaims them to the judge with complete arrogance. Nothing you can say will stop the accuser’s words or make right the wrongs you’ve committed. You are helpless…
…But God.
Those two words change everything. In Zechariah’s vision, we catch a glimpse of the Gospel. We stand dirty before the Lord with nothing to offer or say, but God is not finished. He removes the filthy rags that are on Joshua, the high priest, and then places upon him rich robes. Friend, the same is available to us. We have nothing to offer God nor can we earn our salvation. We have nothing we can say to justify the sin in our lives BUT GOD has made a way for us to be cleansed of those sins and be clothed in His righteousness. Because of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection from the dead, we can know true forgiveness and hope.
Life Lesson:
There is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ.
Dear God,
I know that I have sinned against You. Just like Joshua, I would stand before You dirty. Lord, I ask for your forgiveness. Please remove these filthy rags and place on me rich robes. I believe that because of what Jesus did for me, I can be made new. Fill me with Your Spirit and use me to share this message with others. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Living to tell what He died to say,
Pastor David McGee
