  3. OT concept of redemption Buying back of persons sold to slavery

  4. If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan, they retain the right of redemption after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives may redeem them…. Or if they prosper, they may redeem themselves. Lev 25:48-49

  5. OT concept of redemption Redemption of property

  6. Then he (Boaz) said to the guardian-redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek. I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, do so. But if you will not, tell me, so I will know. For no one has the right to do it except you, and I am next in line.” Ruth 4:3-4

  7. OT concept of redemption Redemption of firstborn

  8. The Lord also said to Moses, “I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites in place of the first male offspring of every Israelite woman. The Levites are mine, for all the firstborn are mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set apart for myself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They are to be mine. I am the Lord.”Num 3:11-13

  9. Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to Me. Ex 13:2 …and every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. Ex 13:13

  10. And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD "), and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord.. Luke 2:22-24

  11. OT concept of redemption God’s redemption/deliverance from situations of distress

  12. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you. Deut 15:15 As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.Job 19:25

  13. NT Concept of redemption Jesus our Redeemer buying us back for Himself

  14. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

  15. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us…Eph 1: 7-8

  16. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE.“ Gal 3:13

  17. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed.. Rom 3:23-25

  18. But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Heb 9:11-12

  19. Redeemer – unique Christian concept God just doesn’t throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive. That’s what the Bible says happens in your salvation. R.C. Sproul

  20. The wonder of redemption …God as being as severe in His justice as if He were not loving, and yet as loving as if He were not severe. Spurgeon Justice/wrath vs love

  21. The wonder of redemption It is God himself who in holy wrath needs to be propitiated, God himself who in holy love undertook to do the propitiating and God himself who in the person of his Son died for the propitiation of our sins. Thus God took his own loving initiative to appease his own righteous anger by bearing it his own self in his own Son when he took our place and died for us. John Stott Joh John Stott

  22. Outcome of redemption But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. Rom 6:22 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Eph 4:30

  23. Outcome of redemption The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

  24. God our Redeemer Closing thought – not once, but twice belonging to God How then should we live?
