Whenever He Is, Then Is The Perfect Time

Thursday, January 23, 2025

Galatians 4 says, "In the fullness of time, God sent His Son, born of a woman." Does that simply mean that He came because it was the perfect time and so that made it the fullness of time? The "fullness of time" is a Hebrew expression. It speaks of "prophecy" or "God's purposes being fulfilled". Yes, things were set up perfectly, but Messiah wasn't born just because it was the perfect time. Rather, it was the perfect time because He was born. We tend to look for the perfect time or the perfect situation when everything will be right in our lives. We think we will be happy at the perfect church, perfect job, perfect marriage, perfect situation, or perfect everything. The point of your life isn't to get to the perfect situation or place, it's to let Messiah come into that less than perfect situation. For whenever He comes, it is the perfect time. This world will never be perfect, but your job is to let the Perfect come into it. Messiah didn't come just because the time was perfect. The time was perfect because Messiah came.
