"The days are coming..." God's covenant people waited, longing for the day when they would see the promised Messiah, the Righteous Branch. This branch would bring new life to a people dead in their sins, hope to a hopeless people, freedom to captives.
Not what they expected, many questioned the arrival of Jesus. This peasant was suppose to be the "King who would reign wisely and restore Israel to safety"? Yet with authority, He challenged their law, their order, their righteousness. Quietly, He claimed He not only did this, He did more, for His kingdom was greater, His throne was higher, and the life He offered so much more abundant than anything they could imagine.
