Ephesians 1:7 Jesus is our redeemer

Heb. 9:12 Christ own blood made him our redeemer.

 

We find our redemption in Jesus and his work on the cross. 

 

What ever is in the way of who we are meant to be in Christ… whatever is stopping our lives from living out all that he has for us… be it Slavery through sin, imprisonment through sin, misfortune through sin, debt through sin… this word deliverance means we are free from all and any of it. 

 

Jesus is the redeemer… but it actually points to a newer understanding of how that works. The Schofield bible actually says that Redeemer points to his redemptive nature as seen in the OT name Jehovah. and that the names of Jehovah reveal who he is in relation to what has been stolen from us through sin. 

so in a sense… He is Jesus our revealer and not just our redeemer. 

but this is how it looks in scripture….

They are set up to be a continuous and self increasing self revelation to who God is according to what has been taken from us in a sinful world. 

ok, at this point you are thinking… Garth I am choking on all the definitions and explanations… please make it simple, Im blond and from a public school and a democrat… (ok, that was funny) 

First what are the names of Jehovah 

Shamamah- The Lord is there.. he enjoys our presence. 

Shalom - the Lord is our peace

Ra-ha - The Lord is our shepherd, willing to lay down his life for his sheep

Jireh - he is our provider 

Nissi - our banner, our victory

Tsidkeneau- he is our righteousness, we are sinless in his sight due to his work on the cross

Rapha - our healer of all our diseases, sicknesses, illness 

 

Redeemer always means he not only restores, he gives back more that what was first taken. 

Our ground level example… We were born sinners, but he not only redeems us - aka forgives us our sins… - but he now covers us in his forgiveness and we are seen sinless in his sight… it is a once and for all covering. Way more than we deserve… it’s not a three strikes and your out.. its a three strikes your still forgiven, and thirty strikes and your still forgiven and 3000 strikes and your still forgiven… it is his grace that powers his redemption. 

So now what does it mean They are set up to be a continuous and self increasing self revelation to who God is according to what has been taken from us in a sinful world.

Whatever has been stolen from us in a sinful world is redeemed (we get back more…) not in a perfect world, not when Christ comes back, not just if we live perfect lives… but while we live imperfectly and while we live in an imperfect sinful world… he continues to redeem our lives… This is our continuous self revealing ever increasing revelation of who God is.

Think about it… it will blow your mind. He is our redeemer, he is our redemption, he is our revealer!
