Christ's Name for His Church
Commentators are unanimous that it is remarkable for the Church (symbolized by Jerusalem) to be called 'The Lord our Righteousness,' the very name given to the Messiah in Jeremiah 23. This shared name signifies a profound unity between Christ and believers, often compared to the relationship between a head and its body or a husband and wife. The Church takes on the identity of her Savior.
