This week we kicked off our Christmas series on the prophecies regarding the birth of Christ. The details of Christ’s birth were not just random events. Rather they were prophesied hundreds of years before. Prophets foretold the coming of Christ long before it happened. The first fulfilled prophecy we learned about is the prophecy of Christ being born in Bethlehem. The prophet Micah tells us that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. And God arranged for these events to happen to fulfill that prophecy. This teaches us that God is always in control. He has a master plan even when we can’t see it. Therefore in moments of waiting on God, we are called to wait with hope and trust.
