Fullness of time

2020 in Recovery Ministry has been interesting and powerful, we were blessed to be able to spend it with you. 

 The New Testament uses a word, pleroma, to refer to the coming of Jesus. It is a single Greek word, but it is usually translated by the phrase ‘fullness of time’. That fullness may be illustrated by a glass of water. If you fill a glass of water to the brim it is full, but that is not pleroma. When the fullness of pleroma takes place, the water overflows the edges of the glass.  

 When Christ came the world was absolutely ready for Him. 

 Galatians 4:4–5  

4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.  

 In the fullness of time (pleroma) Jesus is born as the descendant of King David, as the promised Shepherd-King of Israel (Micah 5:2; Matt 2:6). Jesus as son of David, Son of God, is the eternal King who established the kingdom of God on earth, the throne that lasts forever! 

 Our prayer is for your season to experience this fullness of time (pleroma) and this King to be established in your life and recovery forever.
