Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-6
The Children of Israel had a blessed hope of being delivered form all of the oppression, bondage, and slavery they had been enslaved in. But they had hope in the coming Messiah would come and set them free! That the Messiah would make everything right! That the Messiah would conquer their enemies! In much the same way, the blessed Hope is still alive today! We look for Jesus to return to set us free; free from deceptive Self, free from the bondage of Sin, and free from the satanic influences thrown at us day after day!
I don’t know about you this morning but I am looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of Jesus Christ my Saviour!
