Daily Devotion: Genesis 3:21

Genesis 3:21   "Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them."

We see a beautiful picture of God's grace in this verse. Before He cast them out of the Garden of Eden, an animal was slain to provide  the skin to make coats that covered the nakedness of or Adam and Eve. The blood of an animal was shed for those skins to cover them. I have no problem believing that animal was a  lamb.  

We are covered with a robe of righteousness. "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness..." (Isaiah 61:10) Blood had to be shed for that robe to cover us. It was the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." (Romans 13:14)

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
