Behold He Cometh
“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 of old, from everlasting.” (Micah 5:2)
Today’s Morsel: Bethlehem
means the city of bread. It was here that Ruth and Boaz birthed Obed, who
is the father of Jesse, who is the father of King David. It was here that
Jesus was born. The prophet Micah states that out of Bethlehem would come
forth the one that was to be the ruler of Israel. The apostle Matthew
wrote, “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in
the east, and are come to worship him.”(Matthew 2:1-2) Would you know Him if He came forth to
you right now? “Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of
him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile! Nathanael saith
unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that
Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael
answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King
of Israel.” (John 1:47-49) Could you identify Him?
Sing: He's coming soon, He's coming
soon, it may be morning, evening, night, or noon. He's coming soon, He's
coming soon, to take us back to our new home.
Thought For Today: Be ye ready,
for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of man cometh.
