“You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times.”
The Lord comes always in humility. He is not born into the great palaces of the Kings of Isreal. The King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords is born in a small humble town called Bethlehem – The House of Bread.
Faith is about conduct. The faith the church teaches us that to be a Christian, has to come with a proper conduct of life – moral, ethical, holy.
We are living in a secular culture where relativism reigns. Whatever you think is good is good, whatever you think is evil is evil. You have your good, you have your evil, I have mine. There is no groundedness in absolute truth, which can only be found in God, who is truth, and in Jesus Christ, who is the truth, the way, and the light.
We know that in our own individual lives when we are obedient to God, we are blessed. Are we not? And when we are disobedient to the Commandments of God, we reap destruction. And our lives begin to spiral downward into all types of desolation. And that is what produces destruction.
