Belonging House Fellowship

The Root and the Branch


Listen Later

Jeremiah is being given a promise:

the house of David,

which seems to be at a very low point,

is going to produce a Branch.

Isaiah tells us a

branch will come from the stump of Jesse.

And Zechariah also gives us this image

of a righteous branch.

In the ancient world,

and especially among royalty,

the idea of a branch

always refers to a royal line.

This is the Kingly line.

This is the Messianic promise

God made to David in II Samuel 7:

You will not build me a house,

but I will build you a house,

and someone will sit on your throne

forever.

We are looking back,

and we are looking forward.

Jeremiah

in a hopeless situation

is promised that a Branch will come forth,

and by this branch,

We will know the LORD is our righteousness.
