Gal 4:4-5 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” What a wonderful thought, our Lord Jesus Christ moving at His own time and purpose, unhurried by the anxiety of time and events, without exception, comes at His own time.
Gen 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” God made three promises in verses 14,15,16: one to the serpent, one to the woman in the above verse, and one to Adam. In the promise made to the woman, as strange as it may appear, a reference is made to “her SEED”. This is like a far distant star that shone forth the first glimmer of light and hope on the darkest of nights. Following the pathway of divine inspiration we see the light shining brighter, and it shone brightly in Isaiah’s prophetic vision in Isaiah 9:6 --
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” The light of revelation continued to grow brighter until one night Glory broke forth and angels raised their voices in praise and proclamation. Luke 2:11 “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
While some say “let him be a Saviour”, the Angels say He is born one. He came at the “fulness of the time”; no event could delay His coming. At the fulness of the time He came undeterred and redeemed His people. Some specific instances of His coming during His earthly sojourn and ministry are mentioned:
Luke 17:12 “And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:…” What a time! We know these lepers were outside the village because they could not live on the inside. They were separated from loved ones and banished because no cure was ever to be had outside a miracle from God. We can almost hear their cries for mercy, and as He passed by He healed them. He instructed them to go show themselves to the priests for a witness unto them. The Priest could recognize the cure but could not provide it; the Gospel will show why a cure for sin is needed, it will recognize and point to the only Source for the cure, but it will not provide the cure -- the shed blood of Christ alone can do this. On another occasion Divine inspiration records the Lord Jesus came:

John 19:5 “Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!” To stand by faith in the presence of this scene is overwhelming. There is no artist’s brush to portray or human words to begin to describe this. It may be best to bow before Him in humility and awe; we know we are gazing upon the perfect Lamb of God, the best this world ever saw, wearing a thorn crown and a purple robe that would be a trophy for the crucifying squad of the Roman army, urged on by the Jews and shortly to be hanged on a cross -- which was the most agonizing pain to be inflicted. “Behold the man”. What do you Sanhedrin leaders see, you who want to know that your sentence to crucify Him will be fulfilled? Poor sinner, what do you see, but an indescribable scene that asks a deep and searching question, “Why would He love me so? He so loved the world, but why did he love me so ?
After His suffering, death and triumph on the cross, where He declared His work finished, He rose three days later. John 20:19 “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.” The fearful disciples were hiding behind a closed door! There are times in our lives when the door of expectation of a better day seems to be locked tightly and beyond our ability to open. In their case “came Jesus” with a message of “peace”. None other but the loving Saviour could bring the peace; He had made peace through the blood of His cross. This wasn’t just a casual greeting, it was an announcement that the war is over and peace with God has been accomplished, and He had come back to make the announcement in person.
Isaiah 40:1-2 “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.”
