"These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."    (Revelation 7:14 NIV)  They have overcome the world.  While they were on earth, they washed their robes.  They accepted Jesus as their Savior.  They placed their faith in Jesus and accepted everything He did for them at the cross of Calvary.  They made Jesus their Lord; they fixed their eyes on Jesus and they followed Jesus.  In doing so, they overcame the world.

Beloved, we live in an evil and perverse world that increasingly grows out of step with God’s Word.  Only now on earth can we wash our robes in the blood of Jesus Christ.  Without the blood there is no cleansing.  Without cleansing, there is no redemption.  There is no salvation.  Wash your robes.  Daily go to the foot of the cross and wash your robes in the blood of Jesus Christ.  Daily go to the cross and crucify self. Crucify your fleshly nature at the foot of the cross.  As we decrease at the cross, Jesus increases in our life.  We make Jesus Lord; we deny ourselves and we take up our cross and follow Him.  And one day beloved, we will find ourselves around the throne full of joy and wearing spotless white robes!

Know that you are loved,
