TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 9TH DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 9th December 2024, Monday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: The House of Bread
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
John 7:42
Recommended Reading: Luke 2:15
The same question might have been asked in biblical times if someone said they were from Bethlehem since there were two. One was in the north in the Galilee region (Joshua 19:15). The other was six miles southwest of Jerusalem in the land of the tribe of Judah. Bethlehem in Judah was the home of the family of Jesse, one of whose sons, David, became the second king of Israel. Thus, Bethlehem was eventually known as the “City of David.” When Caesar instituted a census, Joseph—a descendant of David—took his pregnant wife, Mary, to Bethlehem to register. While there, Jesus was born, fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2.
In Hebrew, Bethlehem meant “house of bread.” How fitting that the One who became the Bread of Life was born in the “house of bread” (John 6:48).
The hinge of history is on the door of a Bethlehem stable.
