When the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. -Galatians 4:4 NLT
Ever wonder why the Messiah Jesus was born in that time and place? Ever wonder what it would have been like if he came to us today instead of back then? Some feel that the time of his coming was good in the sense that the culture, both religious and political, were ripe for him. The evidence seems to indicate that it was as his message is as powerful today as it ever has been. It fills me with awe and causes me to wonder if we too were born at just the right time.
... this devotion is part of an ongoing Advent series.
As Aslan said to Lucy, "I call all times soon." God's timing often doesn't fit our schedule, but it always is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGood reminder Fred!
DeleteThat's what I love what the apostle Paul said in Acts:
ReplyDeleteActs 17:26-27 From one man He has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
Love that Connie.
