The Lord our Righteous Savior
The Lord our Righteous Savior
Jeremiah 23:1-8
New Living Translation (Chapter 23)
The Righteous Descendant“What sorrow awaits the leaders of my people—the shepherds of my sheep—for they have destroyed and scattered the very ones they were expected to care for,” says the LORD.2 Therefore, this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to these shepherds: “Instead of caring for my flock and leading them to safety, you have deserted them and driven them to destruction. Now I will pour out judgment on you for the evil you have done to them. 3 But I will gather together the remnant of my flock from the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their own sheepfold, and they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 Then I will appoint responsible shepherds who will care for them, and they will never be afraid again. Not a single one will be lost or missing. I, the LORD have spoken!
New Living Translation (Chapter 23)
5 “For the time is coming,”says the LORD,“when I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line.He will be a King who rules with wisdom.He will do what is just and right throughout the land.6 And this will be his name:‘The LORD Is Our Righteousness.’In that day Judah will be saved,and Israel will live in safety.
New Living Translation (Chapter 23)
7 “In that day,” says the LORD, “when people are taking an oath, they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt.’ 8 Instead, they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the people of Israel back to their own land from the land of the north and from all the countries to which he had exiled them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”
Jeremiah 33:14-16
New Living Translation (Chapter 33)
14 “The day will come, says the LORD, when I will do for Israel and Judah all the good things I have promised them.15 “In those days and at that time. I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line.He will do what is just and right throughout the land.16 In that day Judah will be saved,and Jerusalem will live in safety.And this will be its name:‘The LORD Is Our Righteousness.’
Jeremiah 33:23-26
New Living Translation (Chapter 33)
23 The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, 24 “Have you noticed what people are saying?—‘The LORD chose Judah and Israel and then abandoned them!’ They are sneering and saying that Israel is not worthy to be counted as a nation. 25 But this is what the LORD says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky. 26 I will never abandon the descendants of Jacob or David, my servant, or change the plan that David’s descendants will rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Instead, I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them.”
In two different places in Jeremiah we see that he receives a word from the Lord with regards to Jerusalem and Israel and that they are His chosen people.
That he won’t forsaken them. He won’t abandon them - he will always keep His eye on them.
David is promised to always have a King in place from his descendants.
The Messiah - who is Jesus Christ - he is a descendant of David- he is the promised one here.
He also is promised as the good shepherd - which we will look at a different day.
Matthew 1:6, 16
Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah).
.... in between here you will find the lineage of the Messiah
16 Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. Mary gave birth to Jesus, who is called the Messiah.
We may not be Jewish - from Israel - but we have been grafted into His family.
Romans 14:10–23 (NIV)
10 You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
11 It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ”
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.
16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Psalm 1:1–3 (NIV)
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
