Our Redemption (#1045)

Good morning!  God bless you!  Today we’re going to start a two-part series on our redemption.  Redemption is awesome!  It is where Jesus Christ paid the price for our sins.  We use the term “redemption” a little bit, we don’t use the term too-much in modern talk.  When I was a kid, we had something called S&H Greenstamps, today we just have little bonuses that show up for various loyalty programs that are all electronic.  We used to get Green Stamps and put them in a little book and when it was full, you could go to the Green Stamp store and redeem the stamps, the Green Stamps, for all kinds of things.  You could get a toaster, or get a blender, or get something else you wanted.  Today, we do it with airline points or credit card points.  I get points on my credit card and occasionally I redeem them for stay at a hotel or an airplane flight or something like that or a restraunt.  And there are all kinds of things like that.  Redeem just means that buy back, and Jesus Christ bought back our lives and our eternal lives with his blood.  We’re paid for, we’ve been bought with the price, we’ve been redeemed.  So, we’ll read a bunch of verses about this this week and next week we’ll read several more, and probably overlap one or two as we often do.  But, we’ll try to in two weeks cover it.  But again, this is nothing radical, or something we haven’t heard, but it is so wonderful to look in God’s word and see the great truths about our redemption.  So, without futher ado, let’s start in Romans chapter three…
