What is this love?
4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.(Galatians 4:4-7)
However, in His time, God sent his son, fully God, Jesus of Nazareth, fully man.
Since Jesus is fully man, he came subject to the same Law of God that each of us are. That means that he had to do everything perfectly.
Since Jesus is God’s son, He is fully God, too. That means that he is capabable of doing what you and I aren’t-fulfilling the law!
Where we fail and bring death and suffering to us-Jesus succeeds and creates a new relationship for us with God.
We go from being a dead slave to being adopted sons and daughters! It was God’s promise from years ago.
It was first made real in Jesus.
Then it was made real for you in your baptism.
Today we remember that wonderful steadfast love of God.
From creation, to the prophets, to the coming of His Son, to his love for you!
With God’s peace on this wintry Christmas morning!
