JESUS CHRIST – MARKED DOWN 50%GET HIM WHILE YOU CAN!

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,are only a small village

among all the people of Judah.Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you,

one whose origins are from the distant past.

(Micah 5:2, NLT)

The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies

The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies

until the woman in labor gives birth.

Meanwhile, Israel will be in foster homes until the birth pangs are over

and the child is born. Micah 5:3 (The Message)

The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies

until the woman in labor gives birth. Then at last his fellow countrymen

will return from exile to their own land.

And he will stand to lead his flock with the LORD’s strength,

in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.

Then his people will live there undisturbed,

for he will be highly honored around the world.

And he will be the source of peace.(Micah 5:3-5a, NLT)

"Only those who stand beneath the cross and watch him suffer and die will be convinced that at the heart of reality

is One who enters into suffering.” - Bishop Kenneth Carter

"Only the suffering God can help." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Lord God, rekindle in me the awe that you come into my life in ways that

may seem unimpressive.Forgive me, for wanting to only ever

see you in the spectacular.

Loving Father, help me this Christmas,

and every day, to see you in the ordinary.Through your Holy Spirit,

help me to encounter you once more. Amen
