⚖️ The
Story of Micah — Justice, Mercy, and the Coming Savior
Part One: A
Call to Justice
Micah spoke to Israel and Judah,
warning them of God’s anger over:
- Corruption
among leaders
- Oppression
of the poor
- Dishonest
business practices
“Hear this, you leaders, and give ear, you
rulers of the house of Jacob: Is it not for you to know justice?”
God values justice and righteousness,
not empty rituals.
Part Two: A
Call to Humility and Mercy
Micah reminded the people that worship alone
is not enough:
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and
what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with your God?”
True faith is lived through compassion,
fairness, and humility, not simply religious ceremonies.
Part Three:
Warnings of Judgment
Micah warned that God’s judgment would come
on those who continued in sin:
- Cities
would be destroyed
- Leaders
and people would face consequences for injustice
- God
would not ignore wrongdoing
“Therefore you will be abandoned until the
time when she who is in labor bears a child.”
God’s discipline is meant to bring His people
back to righteousness.
Part Four:
The Promise of the Messiah
Even in judgment, God gave hope:
- A
ruler would come from Bethlehem
- He
would bring peace, justice, and security
- God’s
kingdom would last forever
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are
small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be
ruler over Israel.”
This prophecy points to Jesus Christ,
the Savior of the world.
Part Five:
Lessons from Micah
Micah teaches us:
- God
values justice, mercy, and humility above ritual
- Sin
and corruption bring consequences, but God calls for repentance
- God’s
promises of restoration and a Messiah bring hope
- True
faith is lived through actions that honor God and care for others
