This is week two of Advent where we remember and celebrate the ‘arrival’ of our savior Jesus. 

Here is this week’s reading:

Micah 5: 2, 4, 5a

But you, Bethlehem, 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 from of old,  from ancient times.” Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites. 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 to the ends of the earth.

And he will be our peace. 

I love the last line of this passage that reminds us Jesus came down to be our Peace. In the midst of our world of turmoil and chaos we can still remember that Jesus is our Peace.
