Heaven's Uniform

Jesus' robe of righteousness is Heaven's Uniform.

If your kids are in a school that requires a uniform or in a club, like Pathfinders, that has one you could use that as a discussion starter for Jesus' Robe of Righteousness.

Sometimes a kid can't afford to obtain the proper uniform on his own. That's how we are with Heaven's uniform. We simply can't be good enough to get to Heaven. We need to be covered with Jesus' robe of righteousness.

I wrote a story based on this concept which could help flesh out this idea. It's posted on our kid's blog. Click here to read it

Isaiah 61:10--Jesus is willing to give us His own pure robe of righteousness.
