Joshua the high priest stands before God in filthy clothing, But The Lord says take away the garments that are stained and clothe him in new raiment, reflecting the fact that his sins have been dealt with.

“ A most comforting sermon ” - continued . . I would add . .
What a blessing to be “chosen in Him”
(Eph. 1:4) What a comfort and how reassuring it is to have Christ for my Advocate; and to know Christ my great High Priest prays for me and intercedes on my behalf.
(John 17:9; Heb. 7:25)
I borrow the words from the hymn that I often consider so aptly titled:
Jesus . . What a friend for Sinners"
Jesus! what a strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in him;
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,
He, my strength, my vict'ry wins.

“ A most comforting sermon ” Those who say the OT is irrelevant are poor misguided souls.
Our Lord himself instructed his followers that the prophets of old spoke of Him
(Luke 24:27) as did the Apostle Peter
(1 Peter 1:10-11)
In my own experience, I have found it truly a blessing to see for myself by searching the Scriptures how the OT prophecies find their fulfillment in the New.
What a wonderful prophecy of Christ as our Advocate is found in this OT text. How good it is to have the Lord on our side to rebuke Satan . . the accuser of the brethren . . when we are under his fierce attacks.
1 John 2:1
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
What a comfort it is to know that my sins which testify against me are all forgiven in Christ, and that he has taken away my filthy garments.
Isaiah 61:10
"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."
