Genesis 37:3-4 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a robe of many colors for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not bring themselves to speak peaceably to him.
ROBE'S OF JOSEPH
1. THE FAVORED ROBE -Genesis 37:3, 23, 31-32 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a robe of many colors for him. 23 When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped off his robe, the robe of many colors that he had on. 31 So they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood. 32 They sent the robe of many colors to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it. Is it your son’s robe or not?”
2.THE SLAVE GARMENT –Genesis 39:12-18 -12 She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside. 16 She put Joseph’s garment beside her until his master came home. 17 Then she told him the same story: “The Hebrew slave you brought to us came to make a fool of me, 18 but when I screamed for help, he left his garment with me and ran outside.”
3. THE ROYAL ROBE -Genesis 41:41-42- 41 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “See, I am placing you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, clothed him with fine linen garments, and placed a gold chain around his neck.
OUR IDENTITY IS NOT DETERMINED BY PEOPLE BUT BY GOD.
Genesis 45:22 - He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes
ROBE’S OF JESUS
1. THE ROBE OF MOCKERY -
Matthew 27:27-31 - Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus…. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
2. A ROBE OF SHAME & SUFFERING -
John 19:23–- When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
3. A ROBE OF RESURRECTION -
John 20:6–7 - 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.
Isaiah 61:10 - He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness.
JESUS REMOVES OUR ROBES OF SIN & DEATH AND REPLACE THEM WITH ROBES OF SALVATION AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Galatians 3:27 - “All who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ—like clothing.”
`Romans 13:14 - Put on the Lord Jesus Christ as if He were your clothing.
YOU CAN’T WEAR JESUS’ ROBE OF SALVATION OVER YOUR ROBE OF SIN AND DEATH.
