Micah 5:2 Bethlehem Ephratah

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!

   Many things are in the Bible and unless it is pointed out or studied we pass right over it and never know what it says or means.  Last week I was visiting with a young lady who grew up in church, yet did not know that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were called the 4 gospels.  As I said, many things go untold or not taught at all.

   So often we just sit in church, doing our "duty" to God by being in church; listen to the preacher, then go on our merry way.  This is not what God has called us to do.  I am going to refer to Micah 5:2 and Luke 22:14-20 today.

   In Hebrew the word for bread is lechem.  Peree hagafen means fruit of the vine.  Now this is what Jesus tells us to do in remembrance of Him; communion. The breaking of bread and sharing of the wine.

  Lechem represents the bread or body of Christ and Peree represents His blood. Now comes the question -  When did He first appear in flesh and blood?

   Interesting, Jesus was born in Bethlehem - which means the Place of Lechem or the House of Bread.  In Micah 5:2 you will find Bethlehem Ephratah.  Ephratah come from the same word from which we get peree or blood.  Sooo, Jesus' body and blood was first revealed at 'BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH' .  Where Jesus first appeared in the flesh and blood bears the name of the symbols of His flesh and Blood.  Wow!!!
