So go the lyrics of the old standard. And Romans 5:6 reminds us that "at just the right time" God sent his Son into the world. The Holman Christian Standard version says it was "at the appointed time." What does this mean?
First, God had a plan from the very beginning - a plan to redeem man and to give him a right relationship with himself. This plan and this appointed time are mentioned throughout the Old Testament.
So, when the time was right, God the Son came into our world as a tiny baby, lived a sinless life as Jesus of Nazareth, then gave his life for us on a cruel cross. Just in time.
