When Your
Favorite Suit
Wears Out

“When my body, which is a temporary
dwelling while on earth is dissolved
I will be given a new dwelling framed by God
which will be my eternal mansion in heaven.”

2 Corinthians 5:1

LanvinSuit Years ago I once had an exquisite suit made by Lanvin of Paris. It was of the finest silk and wool, single brested in in a classic Euro-French style. Every single time I wore it people would literally stop and compliment how beautiful it was.

I wore and enjoyed that suit for many years but eventually it lost its shape, was fraying around the collar and pant cuffs and I sadly had to retire it.

Our human bodies are just like that suit.

From being an energetic, beautiful newborn baby, our body will also eventually fade and waste away. No matter how careful we are to preserve and take care of our bodies, it will also wear out, so the question is what happens to you after your temporary human suit is 'dissolved?'

As today’s Bible verse says, there can be a new, eternal 'dwelling' awaiting for all those that are securely clothed in the righteous of Christ. (1 Corinthian 15:54)

In Matthew 22:1-4 Jesus tells the parable of the wedding feast when a man improperly clothed tries to enter the banquet. His point was that those not clothed in the 'pure white linen' of the righteousness of Christ will be cast out and not enter into His Kingdom.

The Bible says that “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption” (1 Corinthians 15:50) and that comes by having the Blood of Christ cover your sins and cloth you in HIS righteousness — and not your own.

Friend, your current tabernacle will run out.

When it finally expires,
What will you be WEARING?

God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
