Re:Verse passage – Luke 2:4-7; 3:23, 31-34, 38 (day six)
Scripture insists that God is never late, even when it feels like He is. What we often experience as delay, Peter reminds us, is not indifference but mercy (2 Peter 3:9). God’s timing is shaped by love, not haste. Paul puts it this way: “When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son” (Galatians 4:4). Long before Bethlehem, God’s redemptive plan was already unfolding, moving toward its appointed moment (Ephesians 1:9–10).
That truth is both comforting and challenging. History is heavy with suffering, violence, and loss. We’re left wondering: why wait so long? Why allow the world, and our lives, to become so painfully broken? Some of you may feel that tension personally right now, stuck in a season of waiting, exhausted, questioning God’s goodness.
Christmas doesn’t deny the pain. It declares that God enters it, at just the right time, to redeem, restore, and make all things new.
