25 Days Of Christmas
DAY 9: A RIGHTEOUS BRANCH
Where To Start
Read Jeremiah 23:5-6 and then watch the DAY NINE video.
Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies that declared the Messiah would be born in the line of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and David.
Jesus is righteous. He was tempted like us but never sinned. His birth is connected to His death. On the cross, He paid the full price for our sins. He became sin so we could receive His righteousness.
We don’t achieve a right standing with God; it is a gift from Jesus. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are accepted and forgiven forever.
You are now holy through Jesus and His finished work. Praise the Lord always!
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,
a King who will reign wisely
and do what is just and right in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.
HOPE POINT
Jesus is our source and security.
Reflection Question: How is Jesus righteous and gives us righteousness too?
PRAYER
Merciful God, thank You for loving and forgiving us. We don’t deserve salvation, but Your grace, Jesus, is greater than our sin. We pray for family and friends to come to know You. May we love our neighbors and be bold today for Your glory, Jesus. Amen.
