The greatest debate in your life is not a nationalized television event. It is a live universal event where you are the focal point. Check out Zechariah 3. “Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
In this story you are Joshua. Please notice there is no debate regarding Joshua (you). He is dressed in filthy clothes. He is (You are) filthily guilty. You are there because you have been snatched from the fire. The earth is going up in the flames of man’s making. God rescues you as surely as He rescued Noah. Only this time the rescue is permanent. Satan says to God, “You can’t do this. He (you) is not worthy.” And God says, “He will be in a moment.” And your garments are changed. “For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness.” Isaiah 61:10.
On the cross Jesus earned the right to do this. Nothing makes Him happier than to, in Satan’s presence, make us worthy. Satan wanted us. Jesus won us. This is the greatest debate of all time. It feels so good to win. It feels so good to be clean. It feels so good to be worthy. Thank you Jesus.
