Jesus clothes the lilies with purple. He wore purple robe in front of pilate and people.

 

*The Purple Robe – The Amazing Grace of the King!

“See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.”Matthew 6:28–29 (NIV)

“When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, ‘Here is the man!’”John 19:5 (NIV)

What a breathtaking contrast!

Look at the lilies of the field! The Creator clothes them with such beauty and splendour. Even Solomon, with all his royal glory, could not compare with their beauty.

But the Creator Himself came down to this earth as a man.

And what was He wearing?

A purple robe!

Purple, the colour of royalty, majesty and kingship, was placed on Him—not to honour Him, but to mock Him. The King of glory stood before men, ridiculed and humiliated.

The hands that clothed the lilies in beauty were now allowing themselves to be clothed in shame!

What love! What humility! What amazing grace!

He who deserved a crown of glory accepted a crown of thorns. He who deserved a royal throne embraced the cross.

And why? For you and me!

One day, we will stand before this glorious King. Not dressed in our own righteousness, but clothed in the righteousness He has provided.

Revelation 7:14 (NIV) speaks of those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

What a glorious day awaits us!

He wore the robe of shame; we receive the garments of salvation. He embraced humiliation; we inherit eternal glory.

Oh, what amazing grace!
