Jesus Our Redeemer

Are you looking for peace and happiness? Do you want a better life? Only one person, our redeemer, has the holiness, wholeness, power, and grace to be our all in all.

Colossians 1:13-14 points out Christ’s role as our Redeemer. “He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

To redeem means to buy back, restore, or free from blame or debt. In reference to Jesus, He redeemed us from sin and eternal separation from God by sacrificing His life on the cross to pay the debt for our sins.

Yes, Jesus is the One able to rescue us from the domain of darkness, redeem us from sin, and transfer us to His kingdom, taking us to the holy heights of heaven. So we look to the cross and our resurrected Lord. We turn to the Bible and anticipate Christ’s return. We know that as Jesus kept His Word and came once for salvation, He’ll return to redeem us out of this world and take us to our eternal home. 

Our redemption is closer today than it was yesterday. Praise Him!

Lord Jesus, REDEEMER, I’m closer to heaven today than I was yesterday. I’m closer to seeing Your incredible beauty. Thank You for rescuing me from the domain of darkness. I love You and pray Your light shines in my heart and blesses others.

Do you remember the account when God called Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac? I’ll never forget when the words of Genesis 22:8 jumped off the pages of the Bible and into my heart. Abraham said to Isaac as they walked to the place where he was to sacrifice Isaac, “‘God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.’ So the two of them walked on together” (Genesis 22:8). 

Think about those words—God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice. And, He did. A ram appeared in the bushes and Abraham sacrificed the lamb in Isaac’s place. And, so God does that for us. He provided the Lamb—Jesus—innocent, holy, undefiled—to be the sacrifice for us. 

God provided for Himself what no human could provide—a worthy sacrifice; heaven’s Lamb. Years later, the angelic announcement of Christ’s birth was first made to shepherds. The shepherds left their flock to find and worship Jesus, the Lamb of God. “‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’” (John 1:29)

If you have never thought deeply about how much God loves you and that He provided His Son to be the sacrifice for your sin, today would be a good day to let the words of the Bible jump off the page and into your heart. 

Jesus, LAMB OF GOD, thank You for giving Your precious life to redeem me. Father, thank You for sacrificing Your Son to save me from my sins. I adore and worship You! 

Jesus, the Lamb of God, demonstrated the greatest love when He died on the cross for our sins. To learn more about His ultimate sacrifice, watch Debbie’s teaching on John 19 HERE or listen to it HERE.
