The Bible is largely a book about finding balance - between God's hattred for sin and his desire to completely forgive the sinner

Micah understood this balance

Challenges:

• Called for repentance
• Against false prophets, political corruption, and spiritual apostasy
• Preached against greed, selfishness, and explitation

Opportunites:

• God's promises of blessing and forgiveness
• God longs to do good to those who forsake their sin and return to him

Repentant hearers had hope for better things ahead

Are there people in your life who need to see both sides of God's nature?

Jews do not believe Jesus is who Christians say he is

Up until about 1,000 years ago, Jew mainly interpreted Isaiah 53 as a prediction of the coming Messiah but now read it as the Suffering Servant aka the nation of Israel

But there is some issues with this thought:

• Servant was sinless - Isaiah 53:9
• Lamb who submits without resistant - Isaiah 53:7
• Servant dies as a substituionary atonement for the sins of others

In fact, there is only one possible candidate for all of these to be correct:

1. Born from a seed of a woman - Genesis 3:15
2. From the seed of Abraham - Genesis 12:3
3. From the tribe of Judah - Genesis 49:10
4. From the line of David - Jeremiah 23:5-6
5. Both man and God - Isaiah 9:6
6. Born in Bethlehem - Micah 5:2
7. Died in 33AD - Daniel 9:26
8. Rose from the dead - Isaiah 53:11

Jews have been waiting for a political messiah but did not realize the Messiah would come as a lamb of God to be slaughtered for the sins on the world - Isaiah 53:7

Even demons know that Jesus is the Messiah - James 2:19
