Why was Jesus born in Bethlehem? Mary and Joseph didn’t live there. In fact, they lived on the opposite side of the country. So why was Jesus born in Bethlehem?Because God always keeps his promises! The prophet Micah had written, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel” (Micah 5:2).I hope you can listen to this short devotion about how Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem proves that God always keeps his promises and was willing to move heaven and earth to save us. Merry Christmas!
