Hey 1399,
I will give you my
opinion. I think Jesus wore a robe as did many others during that time. Did he dress just like the others? I don't know. What I do know is that something was different about him. Was it his healing powers, his talk, his actions, his dress? I'm sure it was a little of it all.
In
Numbers 15, the blue fringe was a reminded to them to be set apart. To keep his commandments and be holy. They were different. The blue fringe was not only a reminded to them but anytime someone else saw it they know they were different or wondered why they had a blue fringe in the barder and would ask questions. What sets a person apart from he world if we look alike, act alike, tak alike, etc...I don't believe that Jesus conformed to the world, during his time.
Numbers 15:37-41
37And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them ; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
