Jeremiah 21-22, Jeremiah 23:1-8, 1 Thessalonians 2:17-19, 1 Thessalonians 3, Proverbs 4:20-27
Jeremiah 23:5-6 (ESV)
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will
raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal
wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days
Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by
which he will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness.’”
In verses 5 and 6 from Jeremiah 23, we see another prophecy of
the coming of Jesus Christ. Jeremiah prophesied that the Lord said he would
raise a Messiah from the line of David. Jesus Christ is descended from the line
of King David. Jeremiah informs us that the coming Messiah will establish a
kingdom that is characterized by justice and righteousness.
I love discovering prophecies of Jesus Christ in the Old
Testament. These prophecies assure us that God the Father has a plan for the
world that spans generations. The Lord uses all circumstances, both good and
bad, for the greater good. When Jeremiah prophesied about a Messiah who would
bring righteousness, the Lord sent His Son, Jesus Christ. Only through faith in
Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit can we hope to achieve
righteousness. These prophecies remind us that we can always trust in God the
Father’s promises and His plan for our lives and the world. With the guidance
of the Holy Spirit, believers in Jesus Christ can live in a way that reflects
the Lord's righteousness in our lives.
If my reflections on these Bible verses have inspired you to
lead a righteous life with the help of the Holy Spirit, I invite you to join me
in the following prayer. This is an opportunity to respond in faith and express
your trust in God the Father and His plans for your life and the world. I
encourage you to pray this aloud as an act of your faith and commitment to the
Lord.
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of
all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus
from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right
now, I receive forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am
forgiven, I am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full
Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached
and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
