“Their Garments Were Made White”

D. Kelly Ogden, Andrew C. Skinner

“Garments are made white in his blood”: this seemingly incongruous image powerfully teaches that the atoning blood symbolically cleanses, purifies, whitens, and sanctifies the garments of those who apply that blood (see also Alma 5:27; 34:36). White garments typify the purity of those who are clothed with righteousness.
