In ancient Israel, the high priest wore an elaborate set of garments when discharging his duty. These garments clothed him with dignity and honor fitting to his work and pointed ahead to the One who would be clothed with ultimate honor not through a set of clothes, but through the power of a perfectly righteous life. Though we are all naked and defiled in our sin, the Lord Jesus clothes us in His own righteousness by grace, through faith in His work on the cross.
