“When the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law.”
Galatians 4:4
Have you ever stopped to consider how important timing is to everything that exists? Think about the importance of timing in sports. Think about the importance of timing for our daily lives. If you have ever missed a bus because you arrived one minute after boarding you know the importance of timing. You are delayed at work, but because of the delay you missed a major accident on the motorway. If you are the parent of a preschooler, you know that if you turn your head for one minute, that child can be long gone and into trouble. Does one minute make a difference? Just ask those who made it out of the Twin Towers in the US minutes before they collapsed. One moment, one sixty-second interval of time, placed in just the right location can make all the difference in the world.
Our text for today says, “When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law” That represents the miracle of the moment, just the right moment. At just the right time in history Jesus was born. The coming of Christ into the world was not a matter of chance or coincidence. His coming was part of God’s divine plan established before the foundation of the world.
God knows exactly what you are going through. He knows the need. He knows the moment. His timing is always perfect. God not only came at just the right time, He continues to come to us at just the right time. Just when we need Him most, He is there.
When do you need a miracle? When you have no more options, when you have no more resources, you are in a position to receive a miracle from God. He has promised to come at just the right time and provide just what you need for the moment. When we are utterly helpless, Christ still comes to us today.
One moment in time can determine an eternal destiny. Right now is just such a moment. You don’t have to live your life separated from God’s love and blessing. Today is the right time to receive God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ if you have never made a commitment of your life to Jesus Christ. Today might be your fullness of time.
