Why was Jesus born at the time and place in history that he was? God had a plan. He has always had a plan. He was born in the fullness of time, according to Galatians 4:4. What does that mean?
God’s timing is perfect. He does not operate on the same timetable that we do. God is outside of time. When God chooses to wait, He waits because of His mercy.
Some reasons for the timing of the birth of Jesus:
Mary was available. She was willing to be used, although she had no idea what joy and sorrow it would bring to her. When God calls us, we need to be willing to do what he asks. God is preparing us for the next step. Isaiah 58:7-9 – My thoughts are not your thoughts. Even when we do not understand, we need to trust God for He always walks with us.
