Micah preaches against the rulers who should know and seek justice according to the LORD’s Word and against the prophets who are only out for shameful gain. Such abuses do physical and spiritual damage to people that is far greater than our eyes often see, and the LORD has severe consequences for such sins committed by those who misuse their authority. The LORD promises neither to hear their prayers nor to speak His Word, all in an effort to wake His people up from their unbelief so that they would turn to Him anew for mercy. Even in the midst of such false prophets, Micah stands as a true prophet who has heard the LORD’s Word and proclaims it faithfully, pointing forward to Jesus as the One who is the very Word of God made flesh. Rev. Sean Kilgo, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lawrence, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Micah 3:1-12.

Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
