God Quote-Bethlehem

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Micah 5:2.

Concerning Bethlehem, “Though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”

In Matthew 2:1, this prophecy was fulfilled with the words that “Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea during the time of King Herod.”

The town Bethlehem means “House of Bread.”  It was in this community that the Bread of Life was born.  Our hunger and thirst for righteousness is satisfied in Christ. Our celebration of Jesus is what makes the festive holiday season complete.

Micah 5:2-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
