Jesus the Breaker

[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.
~Micah 2:13

The more famous of the Christmas prophecies about Jesus comes in chapter 5, “But you, O Bethlehem Ephratha… out of you will come for me, one who will be ruler over Israel.” But in this prophecy, that Ruler, Jesus is [the one who breaks open] the way… the King… the Lord. When he comes and sets his people free, nothing can hold them back. Following our King brings freedom. 

Let every heart prepare him room.
