The righteous Branch

In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

Jeremiah 33:15

Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecy given here. Jesus is the righteous Branch that came from the line of David. Jesus ultimately brings justice and righteousness by the work of His life, His death, and His resurrection. Sins are atoned. Peace is ours. Right living comes only by Christ.

God promised a Deliverer hundreds of years before He arrived. God brings the world its only true knowledge and experience of justice and righteousness in Jesus. There at the cross, God’s justice was settled, His wrath on sin appeased, and Christ’s righteousness now offered to all who believe!

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for this great love! Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son as the righteous Branch!

Amen
