Episode Summary

A daily Christian Advent devotional and morning prayer from Jeremiah 23:5–6 about God’s promise to raise up a Righteous King from David’s line—a King who would rescue His people and give them a righteousness they could never earn. This episode points you to the One whose reign brings justice, security, and lasting peace.

Today we continue our Waiting for Christ Advent series by turning to Jeremiah’s prophecy, spoken in a season marked by failed leaders, wandering hearts, and spiritual collapse. In this daily Christian devotional and morning prayer, we reflect on how God steps into dark and uncertain times with a promise that does not break: “The Lord is our righteousness.”

This devotional explores how Jesus Christ fulfills every word of Jeremiah’s prophecy, how His righteous rule brings rest to weary sinners, and why your hope cannot rest in your performance but only in His perfect obedience. If you feel discouraged by your own shortcomings or by the brokenness around you, this message will lift your eyes to the security and strength found in Christ alone.

• Why God promised a righteous Branch in a season of collapse
• How Jesus fulfills every word of Jeremiah’s prophecy
• Why our righteousness is found in Christ alone—not performance
• How the rule of Jesus brings security, justice, and peace
• Why trusting the Righteous King steadies the believer’s heart

Jeremiah 23:5–6 (ESV) —
“I will raise up for David a righteous Branch… and this is the name by which he will be called: The Lord is our righteousness.”
