For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

 We heard an incredible testimony from one of the pastors at an AOG Church conference in the Western Cape.  The miracle took place in a Muslim region of Nigeria.  A young Muslim girl had attended a church service and was gloriously saved.  When she went home, her family was enraged that she would abandon their religion for a foreign God.  Instead of killing her, the parents disowned her, beat her and striped her of all of her clothes and cast her out into the street.  She walked naked through the streets trying to locate a friend’s house.  Eventually she asked the children in the town if they knew her friend and where she lived.  They told her where to go and she was able to find her friend’s house.  She knocked at the door and her friend was shocked to see her standing there naked and asked her what happened. After she related the story, the friend went out to find the children who had given the girl directions to her house.  She wanted to thank them for not making fun of her friend because she was naked.  The children asked, “What do you mean? She wasn’t naked.” They told her that her friend was wearing a beautiful white robe and they were marveling about how beautiful it was.

In Revelation 19:8 John wrote “And it was given to her [the Bride of Christ] to clothe herself in fine linen bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”  This miracle should give us hope knowing that when we asked Jesus Christ to be our Savior, He not only saved us from eternal damnation, but He also clothed us with His righteousness so that in the spiritual realm, we are literally walking about in beautiful robes, bright and clean.
