“The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The Lord is our righteousness.”” Jeremiah 23:5-6

This is an amazing scripture, filled with hope and optimism.

Can you imagine a place where those in power deal wisely, executive justice and live righteously? Where people live in safety? It is a place where us as Christians aspire to live. It is a position we aspire to hold. It is an environment where we all live together in harmony and mutual respect. This can only happen when we acknowledge Christ as King. We can look to others to make life better, but this is all our responsibility. We can start by loving our neighbours and those who are around us and always having kind words to say to each other.
