From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

This is the written story of the family line of Jesus the Messiah. He is the son of David. He is also the son of Abraham.

“ I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this witness for the churches. I am the Root and the Son of David. I am the bright Morning Star.”

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

“ We are telling you the good news. What God promised our people long ago

Give praise to the only God our Savior. Glory, majesty, power and authority belong to him. Give praise to him through Jesus Christ our Lord. His praise was before all time, continues now, and will last forever. Amen.

God raised up Jesus, who serves him. God sent him first to you. He did it to bless you. He wanted to turn each of you from your evil ways.”

I, Simon Peter, am writing this letter. I serve Jesus Christ. I am his apostle. I am sending this letter to you. You are those who have received a faith as valuable as ours. You received it because our God and Savior Jesus Christ does what is right.

They must not steal from them. Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior appealing in every way.God’s grace has now appeared. By his grace, God offers to save all people.His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world.That’s how we should live as we wait for the blessed hope God has given us. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to appear in his glory. He is our great God and Savior.He gave himself for us. By doing that, he set us free from all evil. He wanted to make us pure. He wanted us to be his very own people. He wanted us to desire to do what is good.

At that time, here is what the man who is called the Root of Jesse will do. He will be like a banner that brings nations together. They will come to him. And the place where he rules will be glorious.

They said to the woman,“ We no longer believe just because of what you said. We have now heard for ourselves. We know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

“ The time will come when I will set up David’s fallen shelter. I will repair its broken walls. I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will make it what it used to be.

Doesn’t Scripture say that the Messiah will come from the family line of David? Doesn’t it say that he will come from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”

I want you to remember the words the holy prophets spoke in the past. Remember the command our Lord and Savior gave through your apostles.

Tell me what will happen. State your case. Talk it over together. Who spoke long ago about what would happen? Who said it a long time ago? I did. I am the Lord. I am the one and only God. I always do what is right. I am the one who saves. There is no God but me.

God has raised this same Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses of this.Jesus has been given a place of honor at the right hand of God. He has received the Holy Spirit from the Father. This is what God had promised. It is Jesus who has poured out what you now see and hear.David did not go up to heaven. But he said,“‘ The Lord said to my Lord,“ Sit at my right hand.I will put your enemies under your control.” ’( Psalm 110:1)“ So be sure of this, all you people of Israel. You nailed Jesus to the cross. But God has made him both Lord and Messiah.”

At one time we too acted like fools. We didn’t obey God. We were tricked. We were controlled by all kinds of desires and pleasures. We were full of evil. We wanted what belongs to others. People hated us, and we hated one another.But the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared.He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.God poured out the Spirit on us freely. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Savior has done.

You had Jesus killed by nailing him to a cross. But the God of our people raised Jesus from the dead.Now Jesus is Prince and Savior. God has proved this by giving Jesus a place of honor with him. He did it to turn Israel away from their sins and forgive them.

In this way all Israel will be saved. It is written,“ The God who saves will come from Mount Zion. He will remove sin from Jacob’s family.

The good news is about God’s Son. He was born into the family line of King David.

They may have escaped the sin of the world. They may have come to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But what if they are once again caught up in sin? And what if it has become their master? Then they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

“ A new day is coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time I will raise up for David’s royal line a godly Branch. He will be a King who will rule wisely. He will do what is fair and right in the land.In his days Judah will be saved. Israel will live in safety. And the Branch will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself.

Jesse’s family is like a tree that has been cut down. A new little tree will grow from its stump. From its roots a Branch will grow and produce fruit.

You will receive a rich welcome into the kingdom that lasts forever. It is the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

“ What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”“ The son of David,” they replied.

“ City of Zion, be full of joy! People of Jerusalem, shout! See, your king comes to you. He always does what is right. He has won the victory. He is humble and riding on a donkey. He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.

“ Here is what I will do in those days and at that time. I will make a godly Branch grow from David’s royal line. He will do what is fair and right in the land.In those days Judah will be saved. Jerusalem will live in safety. And it will be called The Lord Who Makes Us Right With Himself.”The Lord says,“ David will always have a son to sit on the throne of Israel.

Some of the people went ahead of him, and some followed. They all shouted,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

He has acted with great power and has saved us. He did it for those who are from the family line of his servant David.

You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must call him Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king like his father David of long ago.The Son of the Most High God will rule forever over his people. They are from the family line of Jacob. That kingdom will never end.”

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him both now and forever. Amen.

Once and for all, I have made a promise. It is based on my holiness. And I will not lie to David.His family line will continue forever. His kingdom will last as long as the sun.It will last forever like the moon, that faithful witness in the sky.”

You can’t be saved by believing in anyone else. God has given people no other name under heaven that will save them.”

Then Isaiah said,“ Listen, you members of the royal family of David! Isn’t it enough for you to test the patience of human beings? Are you also going to test the patience of my God?

But David was a prophet. He knew that God had made a promise to him. God had promised that he would make someone in David’s family line king after him.

Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure.

I am the one and only Lord. I am the only one who can save you.

But the angel said to them,“ Do not be afraid. I bring you good news. It will bring great joy for all the people.Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.

She is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That’s because he will save his people from their sins.”

Titus, I am sending you this letter. You are my true son in the faith we share. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.
