Get Naked for Jesus

Interesting title eh?  But as I was reading through the book of Genesis and the Creation account it hit me.

Genesis 3, tells us that when Adam and Eve sinned they realized they were naked and ashamed of it.  So they hid! God looked for them (although He already knew what happened) and asked why they were hiding.  Adam, said "God we are naked and we are ashamed."  And then the blame game began.

What I realized reading through this is that God created them naked for a reason.  Because it's within the nakedness that nothing can be hidden.  I believe that being naked before God means that we are willing to be so transparent and so open that there is nothing hidden from God.  What's cool is that when Adam confessed to God what he and Eve had done, God provided for them.  He clothed them!

So are you willing to put aside yourself and be completely naked for Jesus!  What a revolution that would create!
