Isa 63:2 “Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and
thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?”
Edom was a constant enemy of Israel despite its common
ancestry in Isaac (Gen 25:23). Edom rejoiced at any trouble Israel faced. The imagery
in this passage is of a watchman on the wall of Jerusalem, seeing Edom
approaching and fearing that the Edomite king in his red garment is attacking.
But, it’s the Lord, in bloodstained clothes, showing who has destroyed Edom and
sin.
Point being: As God’s children we must show our Christian
colors if we are to be true to Jesus.
The scriptures are laden with the imagery of colors. Too
many to list in this devotional, but none the less purposeful in God’s
message. Here are a few that strongly
illustrate God’s purpose and how we must embolden these colors in our daily
life. Allowing others to see the beauty of Jesus:
Blue – eternity heaven, God’s dwelling.
Purple – king royalty, our Messiah Jesus.
Scarlet (red) – atonement, Jesus shedding of His blood for the
reparation of our sin.
White – righteousness, Jesus (Christians) eternal clothing by Jesus redemptive work.
The adage goes: stay with someone long enough and their true
colors will show.
Question: The longer someone knows you are they able to see
the blue, purple, red, white imagery of eternity through Jesus or do different
colors come to the surface?
Every life is full of color, make sure it’s bringing out the
God-colors.
