Peace comes in the eternal promise of David’s line.

Scripture Passage

““Look, the days are coming” — this is the Lord ’s declaration — “when I will fulfill the good promises that I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will cause a Righteous Branch to sprout up for David, and He will administer justice and righteousness in the land. In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely, and this is what she will be named: Yahweh Our Righteousness.”-Jeremiah 33:14‭-‬16 HCSB

Message

Jesus has come as the Righteous Branch from David. He is the fulfillment of God’s promise. Just as God reminded Jeremiah of that promise, He reminds us of His promise to be our eternal Savior. In that, we find Peace.

Christ is the source of our Peace. It is through His Righteousness that we are saved, just as Judah was saved. And just as the promise of security was given to Jerusalem, we receive the same promise through Christ Jesus.

Look for Peace in the Righteousness of Christ this Advent season. Be like Jerusalem and take the name: Yahweh Our Righteousness!

Prayer

Dear LORD,

We ask for Your Peace. We ask that we be covered by You Righteousness. We seek Your promise of an eternal home. We ask it all in the name of Christ Jesus.

Amen.
