Bible Reading - O little town of Bethlehem a talk by Rev Chris Wright

Bible Reading - O little town of Bethlehem Micah 4:6-5:15 is a Rev Chris Wright talk recorded at Keswick Convention - 2018 on Bible Interpretation available as DVD format. Micah, a prophet easily overshadowed by his glorious contemporary Isaiah, knew he was filled with the power of God's Spirit and sent to proclaim God's Word to God's people (Micah 3:8). And what a state they were in! The nation of Judah was in an advanced state of moral, spiritual and social

degradation. Micah puts his finger on evils that were rampant then and still with us today – obscene inequality; land-grabbing greed; eviction and homelessness; political self-excusing and complacency; corruption at every level of society. Micah holds up a painful contemporary mirror. And yet! God has not finished with Israel. Beyond judgment lay restoration. Out of a mountain of injustice, the Mountain of the Lord will rise. Out of little

Bethlehem, God's king will come. Out of acknowledged sin, comes forgiveness and redemption. Chris Wright discovers there is hope, for 'Who is like the Lord?' (as Micah's name means).
