REFLECTION

BREAKTHROUGH

from Dimitri Januar Bawole, S.Si.-Teol

MICAH 2: 12-13

“I WILL SURELY GATHER ALL OF YOU,
JACOB; I WILL SURELY BRING TOGETHER
THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL. I WILL BRING
THEM TOGETHER LIKE SHEEP IN A PEN, LIKE
A FLOCK IN ITS PASTURE; THE PLACE WILL
THRONG WITH PEOPLE. THE ONE WHO
BREAKS OPEN THE WAY WILL GO UP
BEFORE THEM; THEY WILL BREAK THROUGH
THE GATE AND GO OUT. THEIR KING WILL
PASS THROUGH BEFORE THEM, THE LORD
AT THEIR HEAD.”
