Jesus Christ, Space Invader Series

The Bible says that God sent forth His Son. God the Son invaded time and space and took on our humanity. God the Creator of the galaxies, came down through forty and two generations and as someone has said, “put on a robe of flesh” becoming just like us yet without sin.

God sent His best to die for the worst. God sent the just One to redeem the unjust. God sent His son.

(Gal 4:4 NKJV) But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

“…born of a woman…”

Jesus was “born of a woman.” He had no earthly, biological father. The Bible says, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).

Jesus was born of a woman. This was a direct fulfillment of prophecy given in Genesis 3:15:

(Gen 3:15 NKJV) And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."

There was no man involved with the birth of Jesus. He is what was promised, “Seed of a woman.”

Biologically speaking, in conception, the man delivers the seed or sperm; but in the miraculous conception of the Messiah, the seed was the woman's. Mary conceived by power of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 4:4). Jesus was “born of a woman.

“…born under the law…”

Christ was reared in conformity to the Mosaic Law. Luke 2, verses 27 and 39 tells us that the parents of Jesus brought the Child Jesus into the temple to do for Him according to the custom of the law.

Luke 2:41-42 tells us that Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover and when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

Jesus was born and raised in accordance with the Jewish law.

This brings us to the verse five of our text. Here is where we find the mission of the Son of God.

(Gal 4:5 NKJV) to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Many of us have watched sci-fi movies where an alien comes from beyond and invades the earth and its people. One of my favorite movies of this theme is Mars Attacks. Most of the time, the aliens kill and maim before the earthlings get their wits and come together to put the aliens out of commission.

The Bible tells the true story of another kind of "alien" who came to this earth; but He didn’t come to kill and destroy. He came to save. Luke 19:10 tells us that "Jesus came (to this earth) to seek and to save the lost."

The Bible teaches that Jesus the Christ, who according to Colossians chapter one, was also the Creator of all things in heaven and on the earth…Jesus Christ, God the Son, left heaven’s glory and came to this earth, taking Himself a body (Hebrews 10:5).

He walked this earth and few people knew who He was. John 1:11 says, “He came unto His own and His own received Him not.”
