JESUS

Today's reading: Micah

"But you, O Bethelehem Ephrathah, are only a small village in Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past. The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemies until the time when the woman in labor gives birth to her son. 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 all around the world. And he will be the source of our peace." Micah 5:2-5 NLT

Micah, hundreds of years beforehand, spoke the name of Jesus--without speaking His name!

He prophesied a king.

He spoke of a deliverer.

He proclaimed restoration through His sacrifice.

He called him a shepherd.

He told of his authority to unite the world.

He stated he would be our peace.

All without speaking His name.

What does your life say about Jesus--even when you don't whisper His name?
