Jews living under Roman occupation in first century Palestine were looking for a power-filled Messiah to restore Israel’s glory days of King David. Their hopes hinged on promises like that of Micah 5:2-5a. However, Messiah Jesus, who ultimately fulfills Micah’s prophecy, upends our earthly ideas of power. Jesus invites us into the other-worldly Kingdom of God where the first are last and the least are the greatest; where losing is gaining, dying is living, and leading is serving.
