Jeremiah 23:1 "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the LORD. 2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: "You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings," says the LORD. 3 "But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 "I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking," says the LORD. 5 "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. 6 In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Lesson from Jehovah Tsidkenu the Lord our righteousness passage:
1 The shepherds of the flocks of God were not bringing life to the sheep in fact the leaders of the people were leading the way, forsaking right living. Instead of the leaders leading the children of Israel into living that would produce life they had become the instigators of living in wickedness.
2 In the declaration that the shepherds would be judged was the promise that one day the nation and the city of God would be walking in such great righteousness that it would be called by God’s name The Lord our righteousness.

Jesus revealed as Jehovah Tsidkenu our righteousness:
Hebrews 1:8 But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions."

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
-
Romans 4:20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness." 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Lessons learned from knowing Jesus as Jehovah Tsidkenu our righteousness:
1 Hebrews 1: 8-9 reveal Jesus being exalted by the words of God the Father. What is the Father praising the Son for? Because He loved righteousness! The Father said of Jesus that your whole Kingdom would be a rule of righteousness.
2 Jesus became sin that we might become the righteousness of God. This is the work of the cross of Calvary ; Jesus bore our sin and indeed the sin of the world that we might have righteousness imputed to us. What an awesome God!!
