Christmas Note “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4-5 ESV What dies the fullness of time mean? The scripture says there is a time and a season for everything and everyone. My time and season may vary greatly from yours. But it is important to keep this truth in the back of your mind when waiting on a promise to be fulfilled or trusting God to answer a prayer. We see this on full display in the arrival of Jesus.
