MY SERVANT, THE BRANCH
Zech 3:8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. {wondered…: Heb. of wonder, or, sign}
There is a time and a place for everything in God’s Plan and Purpose, and there is a title for every aspect and characteristic of our Lord which reveals and magnifies His Position and Power. In the title of “The Brance” there is a prophetic suggestion which finds its fulfillment in the four Gospels, — Matthew corresponding to “The Branch of David” (Jer 23:5); Mark, to “My Servant, The Branch” as quoted above; Luke, to “The Man, Whose Name is The Branch” (Zech 6:12); and John, to “The Branch of Jehovah (The Son of God) (Isa 4:2).
Oh, Thou Servant of man, help us to live a life that will enable us to trust in and depend on Thy Service for us. Amen.
