Gospel Reflections #700: Jesus was born to save us not condemn us

Galatians 4:4 "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son from a woman, and one born under the law."

God has set the exquisite timing for each of His plans for the salvation of mankind.

If Jesus had come to earth as God, it would have been impossible for the disciples to spend time with Him.

God brought Jesus to earth as a human being, in the same way that human babies are born, so that he could be with us, accept us, have compassion on us, forgive us, guide us, protect us and rejoice with us.

And Jesus lived on earth as a human being.

And although he had the same potential to sin under the law as we do, he did not sin.

All this is because God is well aware of our weakness and inadequacy, and in order to comfort and encourage us, Jesus met our needs and set an example for us.

If Jesus had not been born, we would have died in despair, without joy or hope, without freedom from sin.

Everything Jesus does is for us and to be one with us.

We should dream of that time when we will be filled with thanksgiving and joy in Jesus, and look forward to his coming.
