Jeremiah 32:26-44, Jeremiah 33-34, 1 Timothy 1, Proverbs 6:30-35
Jeremiah 33:15-16 (ESV)
“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. In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell
securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The Lord is our
righteousness.’”
In verses 15–16 of Jeremiah 33, we find another prophecy
about the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. The prophet Jeremiah declares that a
descendant of King David will bring justice and righteousness to the land. He
foretells that Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in peace. The city
will be called “The Lord is our righteousness.”
Jesus Christ, a descendant of David from the tribe of Judah,
fulfills this prophecy. Through Him, Father-God brings hope, salvation, and
righteousness to all who believe. The life and mission of Jesus remind us that
God the Father is always faithful to keep His promises.
At the time Jeremiah spoke these words, the people of Judah
were facing exile in Babylon. Yet Father-God, through Jeremiah, assured them
that He had not forgotten them. In the fullness of time, the Lord fulfilled His
promise by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to bring restoration to His people.
A relationship with Jesus brings peace and security, no
matter the challenges we face. Righteousness is not something we can achieve on
our own—it is a gift from God the Father, received through faith in Jesus
Christ. As believers, we are called to reflect the Lord’s justice and fairness
in our relationships and communities.
If my reflections on these verses have inspired you to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, who alone can bring true peace, security, and
righteousness, I invite you to join me in this prayer. This is your opportunity
to declare your faith in God the Father. I encourage you to pray it aloud as an
expression of your commitment to Him.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my
Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank you, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, I am made new
in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit-filled, full Gospel,
Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s
love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
