The
birth of JESUS, the Promised “Seed of the Woman”. The prophesies that
culminated in this glorious historical event draw us back to the dawn of human
history. Beguiled by Satan, Adam, the first man created by God fell into sin in
the Garden of Eden, which brought eternal death upon all humanity. God
immediately summoned Satan and said, “I will put enmity between thee and the
woman and between thy seed and her Seed; It shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise His heel”. Centuries passed by one after another, and the promise
seemed impossible for fulfilment. However, the promise of God came to be
fulfilled precisely when the fullness of time was come.
At the
appointed time angel Gabriel visited Mary, a pious young virgin, hailing from
Nazareth, and announced, “Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS”. This virgin was betrothed to
Joseph. In a supernatural dream, an angel visited Joseph and told him that
“that which is conceived in Mary's womb is of the Holy Spirit. She shall bring
forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He shall save His people
from their sins”.
It was
thus when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son Jesus, made of
a woman, made under the law to redeem them that are under the law, that we
might receive the adoption of sons. The expressions, “seed of the woman” and
“made of a woman” are impressively significant. These unusual expressions
unequivocally indicate that the woman's offspring would not have an earthly
father and that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The Seed of the Woman
has crushed the power of Satan, triumphed over death and all those who believe
in Him shall escape eternal death.
God
revealed to His people, how they should live, but none could live up to God's
perfect standard, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But
God declares a sinner righteous by imputing His righteousness based on Jesus'
atoning work on the cross. Jesus died on the cross to redeem the sinner - which
means to buy the sinner from the slave market of sin (Galatians 3:13). Christ's
supreme sacrifice was the final payment for the sins of the fallen human race.
This payment was made by Jesus by His death on the cross and thereby met the
righteous demands of a Holy God. Those who trust in Jesus' redemptive work on
the cross shall become God's sons and escape from the coming judgment. Although
there is only One Son Jesus in God's family, God graciously adopts as His sons
all who believe in His Son Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
The
coming of Lord Jesus opened a new era, the era of liberation, the era of
freedom, the era of salvation and redemption! Because …” by the deeds of the
law there shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God: for by the law is
the knowledge of sin” (Romans 3:20). Whosoever shall keep the whole law, but
offend in one point, he is guilty of all (James 2:10). But now the righteousness
of God is manifested…even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus
Christ unto all and upon all them that believe … (Romans 3:21-22).
