The One Who Breaks Open

Micah 1-4; Hebrews 6 

“I  will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel…One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their king will pass through before them; the Lord at their head.”

Micah 2:12, 13

God’s restoration of the remnant of Jacob back to Jerusalem following their exile in Babylon has been repeated again in our day with the restoration of Israel as a nation. Similarly, God is restoring spiritually lost people and “exiles” back into relationship with himself through the One who “breaks open the way”. The Lord Jesus has set us free from the bondage of sin and death and opened the gates of salvation to all who believe in his Gospel and receive him into their lives.

Have our neighbors received him?

Jesus is going before us, both in salvation and in our daily lives as we choose to follow him.

Where do we need a ‘breakthrough’?

Are we willing to follow Jesus as king and Lord, trusting his work on our behalf?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your ‘breakthroughs’ today. You are my leader and king.”
