Christ Split Time in Half Key Verse: “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,” (Galatians 4:4). Introduction When the Lord Jesus Christ came into this world, He did not arrive as a religious accident, a Jewish reformer, a moral philosopher, or some gentle teacher that history later inflated into a divine figure. That is the line the unbelieving scholar, the modernist preacher, and the Christ-rejecting professor have been feeding the public for generations. They want a Jesus small enough to fit inside their classroom, weak enough to be corrected by their footnotes, and harmless enough to sit politely beside Buddha, Muhammad, Confucius, and every other religious name they drag out when they want to reduce truth to opinion. But the Bible does not present Jesus Christ like that. The Bible presents Him as the appointed center of history. Galatians 4:4 says, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.” That means Christ did not merely enter history. He arrived when history reached the exact point ordained by God. The world measures history by empires, wars, inventions, dynasties, revolutions, economies, and civilizations. Men talk about Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the industrial age, the digital age, and whatever new age the devil’s crowd is trying to sell this week. But God measures history by His Son. Everything before Christ was moving toward Him. Everything after Christ is moving from Him toward His return. The cross stands behind us as the completed payment for sin, and the clouds stand before us as the promised appearing of the same Jesus. The world may call Him a teacher, a martyr, a prophet, an influence, or a revolutionary, but heaven calls Him “King of kings, and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16). That is not religious decoration. That is the final title over the whole timeline. The coming of Jesus Christ split time in half because He is the hinge on which creation, prophecy, redemption, and judgment all turn. You cannot explain the Bible without Him. You cannot explain Israel without Him. You cannot explain the church without Him. You cannot explain prophecy without Him. You cannot explain the future without Him. He is not a chapter in God’s plan. He is the One for whom the plan exists. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible… all things were created by him, and for him” (Colossians 1:16). That verse will knock the stuffing out of every liberal Christology ever invented. Christ is not a late development in religious consciousness. He is the Creator, the Redeemer, the Judge, the Head of the church, the heir of David’s throne, the Lamb slain, the Lion coming, and the One before whom every knee will bow. 1. The Fulness of Time Was Not a Guess on God’s Calendar Galatians 4:4 says, “But when the fulness of the time was come.” Notice the wording. It does not say when man was ready. It does not say when Rome was ready. It does not say when religion evolved enough to invent a Christ figure. It says when “the fulness of the time” was come. God had a calendar before men had clocks. God had an appointment before Rome had roads. God had a plan before Caesar had a throne. The birth of Christ happened at the precise moment God had ordained. The world thinks history is a series of accidents with powerful men trying to manage the damage. The Bible says God “worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” (Ephesians 1:11). Christ was not born one year too early or one year too late. He came on time. The phrase “fulness of the time” shows that history was filling up like a vessel. Promise had been given in Eden when God said the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent’s head. Covenant had been given to Abraham when God promised that in his seed all nations of the earth would be
