THE BRANCH OF DAVID

God’s faithfulness to Eve, to Noah, to Abraham, to David and even to Solomon is unquestioned and unquestionable. The Fathers’ promises are irrevocable; His calling and purpose are eternal. It is His path and branch that will succeed and prosper. It was in His time the stump of Jesse shot forth a fresh shoot which branched out to bear His fruit eternally. When redemptive history is done, and all the ridges are done, there will be no death, there will be no sin, lions will be lying down with the Lamb in the new earth and Jesus will be King! THAT’S GLORIOUS!  (J.Piper)
