Another blessed identity of Jesus with Jehovah is found in the title, “Our Righteousness.” Note the following:
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD [Jehovah], that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name whereby He shall be called, THE LORD [JEHOVAH] OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jer. 23:56).
“Of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness” (1 Cor. 1:30).
“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth” (Rom. 10:4).
“He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21).
Yes, none other than Jesus is THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
