What did Jesus Wear?

The resurrection loses its power if we fail to see the cross. In the light of the cross the resurrection makes more real the promises of God.

I: Clothes May Not Make the Man, but they do affect him.
1. Adam and Eve tried leaves, but God gave skins.
2. Joseph had a coat of many colors that made his brothers jealous.
3. John the Baptist was clothed in Camel’s hair.
4. Paul the Apostle urged that the old coat at Troas be brought to him before winter.

II: What did Jesus Wear the Easter Week Long Ago?
1. He wore a towel in the upper room.

• While others were puffed up he was humble.
• While others refused to serve he took a servants place.
• Their hearts were melted when they saw the towel.

2. On his brow was drops of sweat like blood.

• A burdened heart.
• A surrendered will. “Not my Will!”

3. Roman Shackles:

• Bound as a common Outlaw.
• Led like a lamb to the slaughter.

4. The Crown of Thrones.

• Pressed on him by wicked hands.
• A mockery to his claim.

5. The Royal Robes.

• Probably one of Herod’s.
• These were not his.

6. Upon his back was the cross.

• Not his but ours.
• Love nailed him there.

7. He wore grave clothes.

• 100 lbs. of spices.
• Grave clothes for the Prince of Life.

8. At last we see him clothed in victory.

• He was given the keys of hell and death.
• The way made for every man to come into the presence of God.
