The descriptor word for Jesus today - provider. As God come to the earth, Jesus is part of the trinity of the One who created all and provides all.
The inspiration comes from the parable of the man who entered the wedding banquet, but was found by the king to not have a wedding robe. A perspective I learned that helped me better understand this parable is that all the guests would have been provided a robe when they entered. If that was the case, why then did the man take it off? Why would he?
I think we all “take off” what God provides a lot of the time, thinking we do life on our own. That we make what we do of our lives on our own. That we even bring ourselves into right relationship with God.
Jesus as provider means lots to consider.
Blessings.
PS For the rest of the parable, see the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 22, verses 1-14.
