At Just the Right Time ... When the Time Had Fully Come
A faithful blog reader wrote in an e-mail, "God's timing is not always the best, I guess." (Keep reading and in a few days you will see what all this is building up to.) This sentence keeps going through my mind; it is a hard one to think about.
Christmas:
"When the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons." (Galatians 4:4-5)
Easter:
"We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly." (Romans 5:2-6)
Mis kell on? (What time is it?)
