“THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” [Jeremiah 23:6]
August 9, 2024
“THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS”. Here Jeremiah gives one of the names of Jehovah who was to be Saviour of Israel and of the world. Jehovah – Tsidkenu, the Lord our Righteousness.
Israel was not to be saved by her godliness – rather her departure from the Lord was to prepare for the Redeemer who would save by His own arm: the Lord Jehovah who became righteousness for all who would receive Him.
Rejected by Israel and by mankind in general, those who repent and turn to Him have found peace with God. Clothed in a new robe of righteousness they find they can boldly approach the throne of God in worship, prayer and praise.
Cleansed by the blood of the Lamb of God they are clothed by “The Lord Our Righteousness”.
