Are You Free from Guilt?
“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.”
Zechariah 3:3

Ponder This
Joshua was the high priest; as such, he stood for the people. And we can view him as standing for us. Joshua, as the accused, must plead guilty. Satan has a good case against Joshua—no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Scripture doesn’t say he might be in filthy clothes, or that the clothes only appear to be filthy. He is dressed in filthiness. And that is a picture of all of us who are not dressed in the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Joshua has no defense. He’s obviously guilty. That’s what the Bible says concerning all of us. Romans 3:19 says, “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.” The very first thing you must do with your sin is admit your guilt. Without this, there can be no forgiveness and healing.
- Ironically, freedom from guilt is found in admitting our guilt before God. Where do you need to admit guilt before God today?
- Is there a friend to whom you might confess your sin for the sake of healing?
