I am a city, not the biggest at all,
Not important or special, in fact, quite small.
Jerusalem is the big city; it is holy and strong.
I thought Christ would be born there, but I was wrong.
God searches out the small, and lowly and weak,
So in me Christ was born, an infant so meek.
What am I?
(P.S. Be sure to go back and check yesterday's answer 😊)
The answer is...Bethlehem! (Too easy?)
Bethlehem was named by the prophet Micah (chapter 5, verse 2) as the place where the Messiah would come from. It was considered a small, rather unimportant town. But it is also called the “city of David” (Luke 2:4), and it was the place where Mary and Joseph’s “clan” had to go to be registered when Caesar wanted to know how many Jews he had conquered. (Matthew 2:1, 5, 6, 8)
