The Root of Jesse, A Banner

These verses speak of Christ's righteous rule and His giving of grace to His people to represent Him as His body the Church, in many God glorifying ways, all through the Church age. The root of Jesse in verse 10 is our Lord Jesus Christ once again. His banner is the truth about Himself which is held up and waved before all peoples; the truth of the gospel and His blessed word. And it says here that His resting place will be glorious. His resting place is His Church. As it says in Psalm 132, verse 13 – "For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: This is My resting place forever; here I will dwell for I have desired it."
Since this is the case, the words – "He shall stand as a banner to the Gentiles" means 3 things in in relation to His Church, His people that He has died to save; and over whom He rules in love and righteousness, forever. I pray that each of us realize through this message, that our great God and King, our Lord Jesus Christ is standing as a banner to the nations. May each us desire to wave this banner of truth, in the way that we speak and in the way that we live our lives.
