Galatians 4:4a
But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman…

John 1:10 -14
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.  He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.   Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The birth of Jesus was a historical line of demarcation.  With Jesus’ entrance into this world everything was changed.  We are now freed from the Law and we live under grace and freedom.  We are freed from sin and we know the relief of forgiveness.  Death is no longer a dreaded enemy and we are given the gift of eternal life.  The list of how the presence of Jesus has changed this world and our daily lives could go on and on.
Jesus has changed everything.  This week through the daily devotionals we are going to explore the scripture to see how the changes that Jesus has brought into this world have affected our lives.
