GALATIANS 4:4,5
4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
Christmas is the season when we celebrate the hope that has come to earth through Jesus. He came to our world as a man through incarnation. Incarnation comes from the Latin word incarnatus, which means “to make flesh.” During Christmas, we remember the miracle that the almighty God became man in Jesus Christ, living on earth as both God and man. Today, let us take a look at the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians to know why we should celebrate Jesus’ coming as man.
