Galations 4:4-5, “But when the fulness of time was
come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. To redeem them that were under the law, that
we might receive the adoption of sons.”
For
centuries the world had been in need of a savior. Surely the people were in darkness and
sin. In these dark times God the father
sent His only son to come to earth that were under the law. God knew that the wages of sin is eternal
death, but God also knew that only the giving of His son Jesus could bring eternal
life to this sin cursed world. All those
who loved and served Jehovah that lived during Old Testament times looked forward
to the coming of the Messiah. They must
have wondered why they were left without the promised Emanuel.
I
cannot imagine what it would have been like to have been born during those dark
times. It is amazing to me that many of
the Jewish church leaders, who knew the prophesies about the coming of Christ,
were not looking for a Savior who would be born in obscurity, humility, and
poverty in a stable in the little town of Bethlehem.
But
when God’s clock said that it was the right time, He sent His son to this earth
so that we would be able to receive remission of sins and be adopted into the
family of God. Although we do not
understand why the time was right for our Savior to be born, we know that he
did come and that He came to save us from sin.
Praise God that His clock does keep perfect time. Because it does, we are the benefactors of
this great salvation.
