“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of
a woman, born under the law.”
GALATIANS 4:4
There was nothing accidental about the coming of Jesus. The fact had been announced in the Garden of Eden, on the very day of Man’s fall from God’s grace. All the events of the Old Testament anticipated Him. The sacrifices prefigured His sacrifice. The prophecies pointed towards Him. And even cautious typology points to “Christ in all the Scriptures, beginning at Moses and all the prophets” (Luke 24:27).
Jesus, the eternal Son of God, was born of a woman. He was born into the family of rebellious mankind. He became what He was not in order that we might become what He is, for by a perfect transference our sins are laid upon Him whilst we are clothed with His righteousness. He becomes the Son of man so that we might become children of God.
Jesus was born under the law. As the son of a Jewish mother, He was circumcised on the eighth day in accordance with the law. He kept the law perfectly, as no man has ever been able to do. He took upon Himself the guilt of our sin, and willingly submitted to the penalty of the law on our behalf. He set us free from the law and its condemnation, so that we may legally enter into the privileges of sons.
It is a great privilege to be able to call God our Father. And we can, because God sent forth not only His Son, but His Spirit also.
