Jesus originally clothed Adam and Eve with a "garment of light" in Eden, but sin resulted in its loss. As a "garment worker," Jesus works to restore this garment through his life, death, and resurrection. He offers believers a new "garment of righteousness" and invites them to accept this gift so they may be transformed and shine with his glory.
