--Message of Righteousness
Isaiah 11: Ephesians 6:10-18

"The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him--the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power...Righteousness will be his belt." (Isaiah 11:2,5)- bible

ISAIAH 11 is one of those remarkable, God-breathed messages about the promised Messiah. From the line of Jesse (Matthew 1), all was fulfilled in Jesus. The evidence of the Spirit on Him would be seen in His wisdom, understanding, counsel, and power. Reflect on Jesus for a few moments: His teachings, miracles, knowledge and embodiment of Scripture. Even at the age of 12, He amazed the priests, for already His understanding was not common for a man, let alone for a child.

Then look at His righteousness. Scrutinize every part of His life, and you will find there is not a moment in which He was not the full incarnation of righteousness and faithfulness. How Mary and Joseph must have marveled at the thought as the tiny babe looked up at them with the eyes of God. As He grew, His words and actions were always consistent, always honoring the Father, always filled with truth.

Living righteously is extremely hard--actually impossible for us. Yet Jesus promised that His life, through the Holy Spirit, was available to us. Have we accepted it?
