The Lord Jesus is your righteousness!
It is the promise of God
From the pen of Jeremiah:
“In his days Judah will be saved
And Israel will dwell securely.
And this is the name by which he will be called:
‘The Lord is our righteousness.’” (Jer. 23:6)
The baby born in Bethlehem
Came to be king –
The King
The King of Kings—
Your King.
Unlike all the bad kings of Israel,
Unlike all the modern-day pretenders,
The idols, the demons disguised as angels,
The counterfeits—
The Son of David is righteous
And when you are in Him,
He is your righteousness.
That’s the baby in Bethlehem,
The righteous King for all who believe.
