The story of Christmas is beautiful and joyful, but it's also a mystery story. It was impossible to know or explain how Jesus would become a man when he would arrive and what it all would look like. People had their own ideas but could never have imagined what God had planned. And then, on Christmas Day, Jesus arrived at just the right time, in the right place, in the right way, and the world changed!
Finally, the mystery was solved! Prophecies from long ago were fulfilled in an unexpected way. Today's verse tells us Jesus is the center of God's plan; to heal everything in creation into a relationship with God. Look up at the nearest clock around you. See how the seconds are clicking on by? Some things probably don't make sense in your life, but be confident that time is still moving. Maybe it's not happening when you want, but God has the right time for everything.
When you think about your relationship with God, what has felt like a mystery to you?

In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.
