On the Sunday before Christmas, anticipation fills the air as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Scripture tells us that Christ came “in the fullness of time”—after centuries of waiting, prophetic promises, and longing hearts. The birth of Jesus was not only the most significant moment in history, but a turning point that infused the world with hope and a new way of living. And it didn’t stop there. That first Advent also points us toward Christ’s return, when He will make all things new. As we wait, God has already given us incredible gifts through His Son. Galatians 4:1–7 helps us understand what those gifts are—so this week, let’s open them together.
