Zechariah prophetically referred to “The Branch.” This is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Who else could match the description described in chapter 6?

“… The man whose name is the Branch … and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the Lord. It is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne.”

The writer of Hebrews declares, “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.” [4:14]

DAILY PRAYER: Jesus, You are the Branch Zechariah spoke of. You are our High Priest who continually makes intercession for us.  We walk today in the sinless purity that only Your blood sacrifice can offer.
