Merry Christmas from Answers in Genesis

Alongside the facet of the lake, close to the gazebo, we added indicators (main as much as the reside nativity on our new out of doors stage) with Scriptures starting in Genesis with God’s promise {that a} scepter would rise from Judah after which persevering with by means of a number of of the guarantees that God made about his Son: that Jesus can be born in Bethlehem and that he can be born of a virgin. Then the verses shift into the New Testomony and the achievement of these prophecies, culminating in Galatians 4:4,

However when the fullness of time had come, God despatched forth his Son, born of girl, born beneath the regulation.

Sure, when the time was prepared—4,000 years after sin had first damaged God’s creation and he’d made his first promise {that a} Savior would come, and after 400 years of silence from God with no prophetic phrase or additional promise—“God despatched forth his Son, born of girl” in achievement of that first promise,

I’ll put enmity between you and the girl,
    and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
    and also you shall bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15)

The offspring of the girl was lastly right here to as soon as and for all bruise, or crush, the pinnacle of that serpent. What a fabulous fact!

The offspring of the girl was lastly right here to as soon as and for all bruise, or crush, the pinnacle of that serpent. What a fabulous fact!

And this plan of redemption, deliberate from earlier than the foundations of the earth had been laid, and delivered to achievement with such precision that each single promise God made was totally stored, might be summed up on this one verse,

For God so beloved the world, that he gave his solely Son, that whoever believes in him mustn’t perish however have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

That’s what we’re celebrating at the moment. Might the Lord bless you as you replicate on this fact at the moment, and should you be reminded anew of his nice love for you—that he didn’t spare his solely Son however gave him up for us all.
