December 12th
"We are His children."
God waited untill history reached his appointed time and sent Jesus. Just the right time; Roman rule, Jewish subordination, good roads, freedom, a degree of safety, a common trading language, cruel and barbaric punishment accompanied by religious infighting. In times such as these, he sent his Son to be a woman's son. He emptied his home so he could send a redeemer to our home. He did it so we could be his children... Not pretend children, but real children, with full rights. So he could not only be God, but so he could be Abba.
When the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons.
