Scripture: Galatians 4:4-7

In the captivating narrative of December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers’ exhilarating flight intertwines with the subtle nuances of the Christmas season, mirroring the oversight of an editor oblivious to the historic moment. Today, amidst the festivities, the essence of Christmas often competes with commercialism, risking the sidelining of Jesus, the true focal point. Reflecting on a poignant family moment and delving into the transformative message of Galatians 4, the passage unfolds the divine orchestration behind Jesus’ arrival, portraying Him as the Son of God sent by the Father. Hints of Jesus’ preexistence and the mystery of the incarnation further enrich the narrative, emphasizing His divine nature and voluntary surrender. As Galatians 4:4 underscores Jesus’ humanity and submission to God’s will, the paragraph converges on a call to embrace the profound significance of Jesus—fully God, fully man, and the pivotal figure in a narrative that extends beyond festive traditions to the transformative power of salvation.
