Greetings Flag Branch members and friends and thanks for taking the time to join me, Pastor Jordan, for some Fine Points from Sunday’s service and message “Walking Worthy In White”.
This message came down to understanding our place in creation. Understanding that we didn’t make anything, not even ourselves. Therefore, we don’t own anything, not even our bodies. Which should lead us to understand, we are indebted to someone for our lives and everything we need to sustain then. And that someone is God our Creator.
As Christians we understand this Creator came to us, meaning mankind, in person of Jesus Christ. He left a testimony concerning His church in the Book of Revelation. There He sent a message to the seven churches. One of those churches was called Sardis.
While He warned the church of their repentance, He said that there were some among them who were worthy of walking with Him in white. Their worthiness was connected to the fact that they had not defiled their garment.
The garment that didn’t belong to them. The garment He allowed us to use to cover ourselves. The garment which encapsulated our lives, the nonphysical unseen part of our being. We defile our covering, our bodies, when we use them for ungodly and unholy purposes. We defile our bodies, our garment, when we dishonor God by employing them to carry out evil and unrighteous acts.
Yet, the Lord said there are some who recognize their garment as the gift it is. And in doing so, they sought to use it in a way to honor the One it belongs to despite the challenges and difficulties that came along with doing that.
They refused to defile their garments and overcame every temptation not to believe and give up. This is among the reasons they are worthy in His sight and will walk with Him in white.
