Micah 5:2 When we scan news headlines, local or worldwide, we are reminded of the sad reality that our world is in turmoil.

Each Christmas I preach on the birth of Jesus Christ. It seems fitting because Christmas is about Him! There is always this temptation or struggle to somehow make this fresh, amazing, powerful.

Micah 5:2 is a famous passage because it predicts that Christ will be born in Bethlehem just as the Gospels record. But the passage has far more blessings then just a prediction.

What is the greatest gift God has given? As the old saying goes, "When in doubt say Jesus!" Of course, Jesus is the greatest gift God has given sinners. Many of us know that Jesus is the greatest gift because he died to purchase salvation for us. How can this be? Jesus was born as a human. But the Messiah was called "Mighty God, Everlasting Father." How can God die? And how can a human pay an infinite debt all sinners owe a perfect, eternal God--a God whom we all have offended. Come with the Grace United crew as we take a profound look at Immanuel as deity.

This morning we talked about how Jesus came as the King of the Jews. He came fulfilling prophecy. He came at the right time and in the right place. Yet His arrival in Bethlehem was not a normal arrival. It was both foreordained and a manifestation of divine providence. God had promised that the coming child would be born there and God orchestrated the world to cause it to happen. Join us as we look at the birth of our Lord and Savior in Bethlehem.
