FOCUS ON THE S.A.V.I.O.R: DAY 6 – REDEEMER


On this last day of this sacred week, we will move to the final letter “R” in the name Savior. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ we must all know Him as our Redeemer. It is really important to understand what this word means. One of the definitions is “to recover ownership of by paying a specified sum”(freedictionaryonline.com).
Did you know that Jesus purchased you for an [astronomical amount]? Yes! Jesus redeemed you and I! I can’t speak for you, but I simply can’t thank Him enough. I am grateful because I know that I was fit only for the grave; nothing good in me, nothing worthy of saving, but my redeemer, Jesus did the unthinkable. He came down from His throne, knowing that He would be persecuted, and ultimately be crucified, and paid the asking price, His life, for me! I rejoice that not only did He surrender His life, but He rose from the grave declaring that it was finished.
I am redeemed!
You are redeemed!
Rejoice! Our redeemer lives today!
