Our Redeemer!

 Leviticus 25; Psalms 25-26; Acts 22 

“’The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants. Throughout the country that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land…Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee, for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

Leviticus 25:23, 24, 54, 55

“Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles!”

Psalm 25:22

God’s instructions through Moses to his people made clear that they belonged to God. The Year of Jubilee, or freedom, every fifty years was designed as a reset of all debts and purchases to go back to their original owners. All Israelites enslaved by debt and all land sold to pay debt were to be returned. There is no greater debt we owe to God than our sin. The bondage of sin includes the harassment of demonic powers in our life. Only Jesus can redeem us from all our troubles and sin! Christ’s death on our behalf is the ultimate act of redemption for all humanity, and the fulfillment of the Year of Jubilee! The good news we proclaim is freedom that begins in our relationship with our Creator and then extends to every area of life. 

“Lord Jesus, you are my Redeemer! Thank you for setting me free!”
