But you, Bethlehem

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, 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.” - Micah 5:2


Jesus' birth foretold down to the very city! Seems impossible, but again...God loves to make the impossible - "possible"!

If He can know down to the details the birth of His Son - do you believe He knows about YOU? He cares for you and knows what's going on in your life today, tomorrow, and into the future. Trust HIM!

Find encouragement in these passages from the New Testament of the prophecy of Micah 5:2 fulfilled:

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem - Matthew 2:1

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." - Luke 2:15
