Colors of the Tabernacle
In Biblical times, colors were significant. The color purple signified
royalty and wealth. In the book of Judges, we learn that the kings of
Midian were adorned in purple. The rich man in Luke 16 was dressed in
purple. Only the wealthiest families could afford purple linens in
Biblical times. At the crucifixion, in a fit of mockery, they dressed
Jesus in purple.
The color scarlet represented bloodshed and pain. Scarlet represents
sin. Beth shares with us the significance of fine linens in ancient
times. Fine linens were worn by royalty and those in leadership
positions. In the tomb, Jesus was wrapped in fine linens.
In 1 Samuel, we read the story referred to as “the great exchange”
between Jonathan and David. David, a shepherd boy, was dressed in what
was likely old, stinky, dirty clothes. Jonathan, a king’s son, was
dressed in fine royal robes. He gifted David with his robe. He removed
David’s dirty clothing from him and placed his royal robe on David.
Why is this story significant? Because it represents what Christ did
for us.
Wallowing in our sin nature, our spiritual robes are stained and dirty.
However, Jesus, clothed in scarlet (bloodshed, sacrifice), if we
receive Him as our Savior, removes our dirty spiritual clothes, and
replaces them with robes of righteousness. We cease being dirty slaves
to sin and we become sons and daughters of the King. What a beautiful
picture of salvation!
