The Righteous Brach Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 24, 2022

The Old Testament prophets used the imagery of a stump as a prophetic promise. Jesus Christ is Lord our Righteousness and he came to save sinners. Jesus takes our punishment and becomes the LORD Our Righteousness, (‘Jehovah-tsidkenu).
