Zec 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
Zec 3:2 And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?"
Zec 3:3 Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.
Zec 3:4 And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments."
This is not the prodigal son here it is Joshua the high priest! The person holding the highest office in the church. He, in all of his righteousness, is clothed with filthy garments! And what happened to him? There was an objective action taken that was outside of him; "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments."
I know that many will say; “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?”
