When the Wise men arrive in Jerusalem looking for the new-born King of the Jews (Matthew 2:1-12) the religious leaders turn to this prophecy to identify where the Messiah would be born. Micah not only identifies insignificant Bethlehem as his birthplace, but also describes the Messiah as God’s Shepherd Ruler. He is the one who comes to save his people from across the whole earth, giving them true peace and security. Do we know Jesus, the Shepherd-King for ourselves? Are we continuing to find our peace and security in Him?
