In our EfM (Education for Ministry) class this week, we read
these words from the prophet, Micah:
But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the
little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in
Israel… Micah 5:2
It is easy for me to see how the first Christians, searching
their Holy Scriptures, and trying understand what they experienced in Jesus –
saw these words as having such power!
May we search the scriptures to understand and explain
our experiences of God in our time!
