Go for the Glorious Branch, Not the Thorns

Have you ever had something grow in your yard and you didn’t know if it was a flower or a weed? You had to look closely and examine it.

The same can happen when people make showy spiritual promises. At first, they may look like the real deal. The problem, however, is if their promises are not based on Christ and Biblical truth, their flowery promises end up being thorns to the soul, weeds that choke the life out of a person.

In both Isaiah 4:2 and Jeremiah 23:5 there is a righteous BRANCH, Jesus Christ, who is prophesied. “‘Behold, the days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; and He will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land.’”

Jesus Christ is the genuine, true, righteous Branch who came and in whom we must be grafted in order to live eternally.

BRANCH of the LORD, who lives forever, thank You for grafting us into You and giving us eternal life.
