In the Fullness of time
During the Christmas season, we sing many traditional songs that tell of Jesus' birth. Perhaps the most well-known is Silent Night. Other popular hymns include: “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Joy to the World,” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”
But in the book of Galatians, we find a short passage of Scripture that is perhaps the oldest of all the Christmas hymns. Many scholars believe Galatians 4:4-5 was a confession of faith included in early church worship, then later incorporated into the traditional liturgy of Christmas.
More than a fun song to sing gathered around a piano with family and friends, these two verses present the objective basis for the doctrine of justification by faith, which Paul defends throughout his letter.
So this Advent season, we’ll examine the 5 central ideas found in this ancient Christmas hymn, to better understand the person and saving work of God in Christ.
