Key Text: Zechariah 3:1-5
Description:
[Courtroom Vignette]
Like a BRAND plucked from FIRE….
Have you ever felt the weight of guilt or the sting of accusation?
Have you ever wondered if you could truly be accepted before a holy God?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Zechariah where we are taken into a divine courtroom.
Joshua the High Priest, stained with sin, stands accused — filthy and unworthy.
Satan is ready to condemn: “Look at him covered in sin! He’s mine!

But then, something incredible happens… God, Himself, intervenes — with all-knowing knowledge of the Lamb slain for sinners — rebukes the accuser: NO SATAN! Legally, he’s MINE.
…And removes Joshua’s filthy garments, and clothes him in righteousness.
