Trinity XXI – The Armor of God

Fr. Davison considers the armor of God from the Epistle lesson and especially the “breastplate of righteousness”, and how Christ’s righteousness holds all the armor together. When we lean on our own righteousness, we hide our sin, but in Christ we are protected by perfect righteousness and can rightly confess our sins and grow in that same righteousness.

Lesson: Isaiah 59:15b-21
