One Moment In Time

Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Every moment bc was heading to this Day.  Every moment ad looks back to this Day.  God was in full control on when He would send His Son to this sinful place called earth.  Every day was designed for this moment in our history.  All the 327 prophetic messages God gave to those whom cared, His people, began to come to fruition that starry night in Bethlehem as Mary gave birth to baby Jesus.  Mary, a virgin at the time, conceived of the Holy Spirit.  A miracle that hasn't happened before nor since.  Unlike the mythological gods who came from heaven or hell as full grown men, God the Son came as humble and vulnerable as possible.  He depended upon His Father in giving Him a mother whom would provide His every need to grow and live.  The time of Gods word coming to pass took place 2000 yrs ago.  It was 4000 yrs in motion before that.  Now that truly is a moment to put on a calender!  Jesus in fact, is so great, the world calender is built around Him.  Who else can say that?  I visited the very spot, tradition teaches us, Jesus was born.  Yea, its covered over by gold and dolled up with precious garbage now and a building on top of it.  But I cant tell you how amazing it was to experience being caught up in the splendor of the moment that I stood where God was born, as a baby!  Nothing to do with super spiritual experiences or miraculous powers from this spot.  No just awe and amazement that our Mighty God chose such a dirty unsanitized stable to first touch earth.  Would I chose that for my son?  Would I imagine this to be my choice for such royalty to begin life?  Would I handle such rejection from family as Joseph & Mary did to be pushed out to their stable only fit for animals? What kind of satanic anger and hard callus hearts would do this?  Well, me before Jesus changed mine.  I'm glad He initiated this 1st step of the greatest humility known to man.
