Jeremiah 33:14 through Jeremiah 33:16 (NIV)
14“‘The days are coming,’ declares the LORD,‘when I will fulfill the
gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 “‘In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line;
he will do what is just and right in the land.
16 In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.’
Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
VERSES 14-26
To crown the blessings God has in store, here is a promise of the Messiah. He
imparts righteousness to his church, for he is made of God to us righteousness;
and believers are made the righteousness of God in him. Christ is our Lord God,
our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. His kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom. But in this world prosperity and adversity succeed each
other, as light and darkness, day and night. The covenant of priesthood shall be
secured. And all true believers are a holy priesthood, a royal priesthood, they
offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God; themselves, in the first
place, as living sacrifices. The promises of that covenant shall have full
accomplishment in the gospel Israel. In Galatians 6:16, all that walk according
to the gospel rule, are made to be the Israel of God, on whom shall be peace and
mercy. Let us not despise the families which were of old the chosen people of
God, though for a time they seem to be cast off.
