GOD CONFIRMED THIS PROPHECY IN CHRIST JESUS
Isaiah prophesied God’s judgment of Israel and Judah. Yet, he also prophesied that though the tree would be chopped down, leaving only a stump, there would be a shoot that would grow from the old root. This shoot would grow into a “new Branch,” which is Christ, the Son of David, the Son of God. This “Branch” would become the “Banner of Salvation” to all the world (Isa. 11:10). He is the Branch that bears fruit. We are grafted into this tree by adoption. Believing into His Name we receive God’s salvation and receive the right to become God’s children.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being a promise-making and a promise-keeping God. For You have kept every promise You have made. We especially thank You for the promised Branch, King Jesus. For without Him we would not be saved, nor able to have access to You as Your children. Yet, through Christ we have received all things. Lord, we now depend on Your promises for this day. Strengthen and guide us by Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.
