The message of Christmas is a message of fulfillment. The time was right, and it came to be. Some factors at the time were more favorable than they ever had been or would be again for centuries. God's will was, and is, for our well-being. And it was all by God's plan. Let us never forget that, even though those are some clever catch-phrases sometimes used to disguise the ugly motivations of some people.

This is the beginning of the fulfillment, and more will be. In fact, it continues to this day.
