God our Righteousness

From now until Christmas I'm memorizing 12 scriptures that point to the glory of the season. Jesus Christ. To start from the beginning click here.
"12 Days of Christmas Scripture Memory"

Day 7: Jeremiah 23:5-6

"'Behold, the days are coming,' declares the LORD,
'When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch;
And He will reign as king and act wisely
And do justice and righteousness in the land.
"In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell securely;
And this is His name by which He will be called,
' The Lord our righteousness.' "

The advent season is about looking for what is to come.
Jesus's birth (the 1st coming) was what the Israelites were looking for.
During this advent season as we remember the 1st coming
what promises like this can we look for in the second coming of Jesus?
