“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

Galatians 4:4-5

When I was a child, and December rolled around, I could not wait for Christmas morning. I counted down the days and then the minutes after the Christmas Eve service; time went excruciatingly slow! I could not fall asleep due to the excitement and would jump on my bed and talk to my twin sister till I finally wore myself out.

Just as children eagerly await the celebration of Christmas morning, the world waited in anticipation for the Savior. Galatians 4:4-5 emphasizes that Jesus' arrival was perfectly timed in God's plan—an extraordinary fulfillment of hope and promise.

Christmas reminds us that God's timing is always perfect, even when we don’t fully understand it. Jesus' birth is the ultimate gift, bringing the opportunity for rescue, redemption and a restored relationship with the Father. It’s not just a moment in history, but a continuous invitation to marvel at His love and grace.



 Just as I got excited every year for Christmas, we too can experience this advent season with hearts full of awe and gratitude for the gift of Jesus. Truly, He is worthy and worth celebrating with all our joy, wonder, and love.
