Galatians 4:4-5-But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
1-Fullness Of The Time Had Come-It was at the perfect time, when everything was in place, when every T was crossed and every I was dotted!
(1)-That period in history when Rome was not at war with anyone, they ruled all the countries around them.
(2)-They had built roads out of Rome that went in every direction, this access would help the gospel spread world wide!
(3)-The Jewish people had migrated to every place in the ancient world and were ever they end up at they built a temple to worship in.
(4)-The world was in moral decline, all that Rome could offer (Education, philosophy,
art, poetry, music, architecture and even entertainment) could not satisfy the emptiness that people felt!
The Old Testament is full of promises!
In Genesis, God promises us that a redeemer would come, and this redeemer would bruise the head of the serpent Satan, and provide atonement for the sin fallen condition of man.
It was promised that this Messiah would be from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and from the tribe of Judah.
In Isaiah we read…Isaiah 9:6-7-For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
In the New Testament all the fulfillments of the promises of the Old Testament.
In the fullness of time, the Jews and the Gentile, the rich and the poor, the learned and the unlearned, common folk, and royalty, everyone gained access to the God.
The most important thing that ever happened to this planet was the coming of Jesus. You’d think that God would be in a real hurry. But Jesus was a full-term baby. Conception, development, birth, growth …
In the fullness of time is important today, because God is still busy. God is still in control, and God still has some appointed times!
Jesus is coming again!!
"I have heard that all my life!"
They had heard the a Messiah was coming, they had heard it all their life, but guess what one day:
He walked on their sea shore
He rode in their boat
He healed their sick
He broke bread with them
He die on a cross
He layed in tomb
He ascended to Heaven!
What God Has Spoken With His Mouth, God Can And Will Perform With His Hand!
What this means is that it doesn’t matter what you are going through, no matter what you are dealing with, God Will Show Up At His Appointed Time!
The most important thing that ever happened to this planet was the coming of Jesus. You’d think that God would be in a real hurry. But Jesus was a full-term baby. Conception, development, birth, growth …
