They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14
This is a description of the vast number of people who will be in the presence of God on the last day. Notice who is in the crowd: David the adulterer, Moses the murderer, Peter the denier, Paul the persecutor, and us with all that we’ve done.
The Bible says that sinners will be “away from the presence of the Lord” (2 Thes. 1:9), but these people in the presence of Jesus were sinners too. So why are they here in the presence of the Lord? Why are they dressed in white?
John gives the answer: “They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Rev. 7:14). They have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Christ has cleansed them. Look at them now—dressed in the white robes of His righteousness. They are holy, as God is holy. They are in God’s presence without fault and with great joy.
How could Jesus accomplish such a transformation in a sinner? C. H. Spurgeon said, “If Jesus Christ is to be glorified in saved sinners, would He not be glorified indeed if He saved you? If He were to save such a rebel as you have been, would it not be the astonishment of eternity? … What if my Master were to make a saint of you?”
If your sins are many, you have every reason to come to Christ today. Your salvation will bring great glory to Him. Put your trust in Jesus Christ, and He will be glorified in you, forever.
Can you imagine Jesus Christ doing this for you?
