Little Among Thousands

Though Thou Be Little Among Thousands…

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting

 

The prophecy was spoken.  The prophecy was fulfilled. 

Bethlehem—not a place of prestige, not a place where you would think a King would be born—this was the birth place of Christ.  Bethlehem was considered the “runt of the litter”, to the eyes of humanity, not a first pick kind of place for the Ruler of the world. 

But, Behlehem was the place! 

It was no coincidence that Joseph and Mary found themselves there that Holy night.  It was fulfillment of prophecy.

From Bethlehem came the Leader who would rule Israel, even the whole world!  This leader would not be considered a pretender, but his family tree was very distinguished.  Jesus stood tall in His rule by the strength of the Spirit. 

 

Jesus is the very center of majesty.  He is God-revealed!  Jesus is the safe home in which our soul can dwell. 

The whole world should hold Him in respect.  He is our PEACE and in His presence is fulfillment of JOY.
