Advent: Jeremiah 33: 15-16 by ric gustafson
When the people of Israel went into exile, they lost everything. They lost their temple, homes and their king. The people plunged into darkness. The people wondered if hope and peace would come again. Jeremiah 33 says in those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David and this is the name by which it will be called ' the Lord is our righteousness'.
The prophet Jeremiah talked about a new king in the line of David. This one will bring peace and righteousness again to the land.
Jesus Christ is the light that shines in the darkness of this world. Yes we will suffer loss. But Jesus brings us his Father's peace and hope for our future. Praise Jesus's name.
