Jesse Tree Symbol #20: Micah's Bethlehem Prophecy
Bethlehem is the LITTLEST town.
And THAT is the town form which comes the GREATEST savior!!
The small.
The unexpected.
The prophet Micah is the same one who calls us again and again to justice and mercy for the oppressed and the underdog...
because God doesn't affirm things like pride. God doesn't care about our power or our popularity or our riches... and those things end up being harmful anyways.
(pay attention to verse 2):
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
