This program is a rebroadcast from December 19, 2015
Why Bethlehem?
Last week we learned how God told the prophet Micah in Micah 5:2 the town where His Son would be born. The small town of Bethlehem may not seem important to us today, but was a royal city in the time of Jesus. King David was from Bethlehem! In this part-two rebroadcast, we learn that not only did God reveal the town the Messiah would be born but also the specific place.
When we look at the small details of God’s plan and how they were fulfilled by prophecy, we must be amazed! And as we celebrate the birth of our Messiah this week may we slow down, give thanks, and reflect on how our Holy God humbled Himself to become human to save us from our sins. Happy New Year everyone!
