Jesus the Fulfillment

DAY 2 OF 5

Bethlehem

God spoke through the prophet Micah:

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

though small among the clans of Judah,

from you will come to me the one who will be

the ruler over Israel.

Its origins are in the distant past,

even in ancient times."

When the Magi arrived in Jerusalem, Herod asked the priests and the teacher of the law where Christ should be born. They said: in Bethlehem of Judea.

At that time, Caesar Augustus issued a decree ordering the census of the entire Roman empire. So, Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem to enlist, and when they were there, Jesus was born, and so the prophecy was fulfilled.
