Born Under the Law

Galatians 4:4-5a

About the Sermon

Baby Jesus can’t help us. He was, humanly speaking, quite helpless at that time himself, helped in life by the very ones he made. And, yes, by the very people he came to save. For, God did not send his Son into the world to become a baby. According to Galatians 4:4–5, he sent his Son, “born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law.” He obeyed where we did not and he suffered the law’s curse that we rightly deserve.

About the Series

It’s easy to feel forgotten during the holidays. But God does not forget his people. “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son” (Galatians 4:4–5). Christ came at just the right time and in just the right way—fully human, fully God, fully obedient even to the point of death. He is a perfect deliverer for sinners like us. In this four-part series we walk through each phrase in Galatians 4:4–5, a pregnant line of Scripture, to open to the Bible’s story, the mystery of Christ’s coming, and what it means for us.
