Series: Here Comes Heaven
December 08, 2024 | Paul Joslin
Jeremiah 23:1, 5-6 speaks of a future king who will bring hope and justice, offering a powerful response to the widespread distrust in leaders we see today. Just as Jeremiah addressed the failures of leaders in his time, we face similar frustrations with broken systems and unfulfilled promises in institutions like government and religion. The prophecy points to a king from David’s line who embodies justice and righteousness—qualities we long for in our leaders. For Christians, this hope is fulfilled in Jesus, who provides assurance that justice and righteousness will ultimately prevail, even in the midst of today’s disillusionment.
