In America, Christmas time is almost exclusively sentimental. We meet. We greet. We eat. We spend. We give. We receive. Decorations are pretty and the Christmas songs are sweet. Only among Christians is the actual meaning behind this holiday kept in focus. Sadly, for most in America, Christmas has lost its biblical substance and prophetic edge. Yet, when we read the words of the Apostle Paul in Galatians 4, the enormity of God’s prophetic pop behind the incarnation of the Son of God can stun us. In this message, we move right past shallow sentimentality and find ourselves squarely rooted in the divine plan of the ages. Why did Jesus come when He did? What does the phrase “fullness of time” mean? Should we consider the first coming of Christ and dare not consider ahis second coming? This is our prophetic glimpse at Christmas.
In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, Jeff walks us through Galatians 4:4-7 to help us reconnect with the powerful prophetic punch behind the first coming of Jesus Christ. The Christmas spirit is the spirit of prophecy, the Spirit of God.
