“But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5 (NASB)
We do not know the exact date Jesus was born. That is not recorded for us. We do know that He did come perfectly on time. In God’s timetable, when the exact religious, cultural, and political conditions demanded by His perfect plan were in place, Jesus came into the world. And He had set the hour and the place as well. God sent His Son to bring all who believe out from under bondage to the law—a truth Jesus repeatedly affirmed. “Born of woman” emphasizes Jesus’ full humanity, not merely His virgin birth. In the same way still, it is true with the events of our lives. God allows things to come into our lives to fulfill His purpose for us. Things don’t just happen and they aren’t accidental. Let us praise God for that and trust Him. The promise is that Jesus came to redeem all who would believe and adopt as sons* all who receive Jesus as Savior.
