Max Lucado Quote

Can you imagine the restaurant host removing his tuxedo coat and offering it to me? Jesus does. We’re not talking about an ill-fitting, leftover jacket. He offers a robe of seamless purity and dons my patchwork coat of pride, greed, and selfishness. He changed places with us (Gal. 3:13). He wore our sin so we could wear his righteousness.
