O Little Town of Bethlehem

In the Christmas song “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” written by Pastor Phillips Brooks just after the Civil War, our attention is drawn to Micah 5:2-4, which prophesied that the coming Messiah would come from this small, seemingly insignificant community. God often chooses small, humble things to make His glory known! He chose the little town of Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Savior of the world. Pastor Dudley Rutherford unpacks the history and context of this beautiful, 150-year-old song and examines Luke 2:25-32 to highlight that those who are looking (waiting, watching, hoping, looking intently) for Jesus will surely find Him!
