In the Fullness of Time

"But when the fullness of the 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." (Galatians 4:4-5)

Preparations for Christmas are being made everywhere. In the stores we have seen Christmas decorations for a month or more. Menus are being planned and recipes are being sought for a wonderful Christmas meal. Gifts are being purchased. Church choirs are practicing their Christmas music for their cantata presentations.

God had been making preparations for that first Christmas for four thousand years. And now, everything was right for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem of Judea, fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5:2. It was in the fullness of time that He came.

Another event is anticipated by believers around the world that will happen when the "fullness of the time is come." The second coming of Jesus will be when God says the time is right. Since you and I do not know when the time will be right for God, we must be ready at all times. Are you ready?
