35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ~ John 6:35
God makes no mistakes or does nothing without a reason. For instance, it’s not a coincidence that the Bread of Life was born in the city called the house of bread. God strategically planned every aspect from before the foundation of the world. We serve a great and mighty God.
Not only that, but God wanted to make sure there was no doubt in anybody’s mind about who He was talking about. Therefore, He said,
“But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah…”
God made sure that Bethlehem of Ephrathah was distinguished from the Bethlehem of the tribe of Zebulun. Why? Because Bethlehem Ephrathah, in Judea, is the birthplace of King David. The same Bethlehem that belonged to Judah. The ancestral tribe of Jesus. Thus, He is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. A descendant of Judah, the son of Jacob, the grandson of Isaac, and the great-grandson of the patriarch Abraham.
Everything God does has a purpose, which includes creating you. You weren’t a mistake. You weren’t an accident. You were hand formed by God Himself. He created you and created a plan for your life. Everything was intentional, down to where you were born, just like Christ Jesus. So, be encouraged today; you were not a mistake but divinely designed.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Believe In Your Purpose.
