1. The Branch of the Lord (2)

Prophecy in the Bible is God's promise. God keeps his promises. The Branch of the Lord is the Messiah. God began the fulfillment of this prophecy when he sent Christ to live as his servant and to give his life as a ransom for sinners to save God's remnant. When Jesus comes again in glory to usher in his Messianic kingdom, the fruit of this beautiful Branch will be glorious indeed. God's promises are the real hope of all people.

2. A remnant in Israel (3-6)

The day of the Lord is a day of destruction for the wicked, but a day of restoration and salvation for the remnant of God's people. After the time of destruction, a remnant preserved by God's grace will remain. The Lord himself will wash away the filth and the bloodstains and make a shelter, a place of rest and refuge for his people. Let's be a part of that remnant.

Application: Lord, thank you for the glorious hope you have given us. Keep me as one of your remnant people.
One Word: Rejoice in the glorious Branch
