Shall He Be Great

“Herod wanted to know “where the Messiah was to be born.” and Micah’s prophecy, given around seven centuries before this event, gave him the answer: “In Bethlehem in Judea.” Micah’s prophecy also predicted of the Messiah that “He would be great to the ends of the earth” (Micah 5:4 NASB). Who is known throughout the world more than Jesus Christ? At the very least, Jesus is one of the most famous persons in all of human history. There is no real reason that a poor Jewish man, born in a cave in Bethlehem, should have been known by anyone outside … Continue reading Shall He Be Great

To break the greatest commandment is to commit the greatest sin. So, how does one get this kind of love for God? “We love … Continue reading The Greatest Commandment
