“He will come from Bethlehem”.

Micah shared this prophecy with the people of Israel over 700 years before Jesus was born.  Micah told them the Great Shepherd would stand in strength and majesty, keeping his flock secure while his greatness stretched out to the ends of the earth.

“And he will be our peace”.

Jesus stands today at the right hand of God our Father.  As my shepherd, he cares for me, feeds me and provides for me.  He guides and directs me.  He gives me strength and security.

His greatness stretches far beyond the ends of the earth.

He is – and always will be – my peace.

Thank you, Jesus.
