Daily Devo | A Paradoxical Promise (Advent 7, Micah 5:2-4)
About this episode
The prophet Micah made a curious and very specific prediction about the promised messiah -- that he would be born in Bethlehem. This promise was pregnant with paradox. This king would be born in humble circumstances yet have origins in ancient days. This birthplace would place the shepherd of Israel amongst the lambs raised for sacrifice in the Temple. And centuries later, its fulfillment would require the unknowing cooperation of a pregnant peasant girl and Rome's first emperor!
