The pastor's robe is a visible sign of the office or work that he has been chosen to do. In the same way judges in civil court wear black robes, police and fire workers, and medical personnel, all have distinctive clothing to set them apart for their special functions. The robe on the pastor reminds the congregation that they chose him and entrusted him with the administration of the Word and the Sacraments.
