Micheáš 5:4

The false gods invented by humankind to give definition to a god they knew must exist, were, unsurprisingly, very much like humankind. They had to be cajoled and bribed by acts of devotion to take notice of us. But the one true God has taken the initiative and seeks us out––to rescue us back to himself. And that is the Christmas story.

Keď sa ľudia v Izraeli a Judsku znova a znova vzďaľovali od svojho dobrého a milujúceho Boha, Boh k nim posielal prorokov, ktorých posolstvo znelo jasne: „Vráťte sa ku Mne.” Tieto Božie výzvy dnes nachádzame v knihách malých prorokov. V tomto štvortýždňovom štúdiu sa ponoríme do kníh malých prorokov, aby sme spoznali nášho Boha, ktorý nás vytrvalo hľadá – Boha, ktorý je verný aj spravodlivý.
