“The one who breaks open can be translated as a title—the King James Version has it as the Breaker. We can see this as a more obscure, but no less precious messianic title of Jesus—The Breaker. In this office, he is the captain and leader of His people, advancing in front of His flock. How we need a Breaker, a trailblazer in our life!” (Micah 2:12–13)
“It isn’t just that the Ruler from Bethlehem brings peace; He is peace. As Paul wrote of Jesus in Ephesians 2:14, He is our peace.” (Micah 5:3–5a)
“The real test comes when it is in the power of our hand to sin and we keep faithful to the Lord.” (Micah 2:1–2)
