Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-24

Galatians 4:4-5 (NKJV) 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

The fullness of time.

Just a thought; I wonder at what point God said, “It’s time to go down to earth. I have to save them”.

Was it because humanity was really bad off? Or was there some other reason for His timing?

I could never imagine being able to hear and see everything going on at all times, every second of every hour. But God does.

He is omniscient; all knowing.

I always say, I’m better off not knowing something. Because when I know something it eats at me. I can’t get it off my mind. So, I say, don’t tell me; I don’t want to know.

God’s not like that. He knows everything, hears everything, sees everything, all at once.

And it came to a point where it was time; we needed Him to come and live among us. Lord, help us!

He heard the pain and saw the sin. We needed salvation. We needed Him!

He sent Himself in the form of a seed via the Holy Spirit, placed in a virgin. He was born on the assigned day, at precisely the right time.

Matthew 1:18 (NKJV) 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

He lived until the age of approximately 33 years, and then they crucified Him. He set us free from our sins when He died on that cross.

Yes, what He had to suffer for us was sad. But, it was also beautiful, miraculous, powerful and so very meaningful.

He showed how deep His love for us is by coming here and dying on that cross for us.

Let us love Him back, by picking up our cross and following Him daily. Amen.

Luke 9:23 (NKJV) 23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
