ADVENT OF CHRIST

“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, Whose origins are of old, from ancient times. He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the Name of the Lord His God. And they will live securely, for then His greatness will reach the ends of the earth. And He will be their peace.” Micah 5:2,4 “And He says in another place, ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek…’He became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him and was designated by God to be High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 5:6,9 “See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and His arm rules for Him. See, His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him. He tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those who are with young.” Isaiah 40:10-11 Last week we saw Jesus described as “The Branch” in the prophecies concerning Him. Here Jesus is described as a shepherd and as a high priest and ruler. He is also our peace. Bethlehem has been awarded an honor above all cities on earth. In a manger, within its walls, a King was born. Not just any King but the King of Kings whose “origins are of old, from ancient times.” A king and priest like Melchizedek. “This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. First his name means ‘king of righteousness; then also, ‘king of Salem’ means ‘king of peace.’ Without father or mother, without genealogy without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.” (Heb. 7:1-3). And Jesus, like Melchizedek, is a King and Priest forever. Jesus is also a shepherd. We are referred to as sheep and a flock many times in scripture. “For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.” (Psa. 95:7). “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32). The Word also says that He is the “Good Shepherd.” “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays His life down for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me…and I lay down My life for the sheep.” (John 10:11,14). Jesus is our loving Shepherd but also our reigning King and Priest, the author of our salvation and our peace.
Come, Lord Jesus!
