JESUS, OUR REDEMPTION
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Jesus Did
a) There are three words that we can easily commit to memory: perfection, punishment, price; which outline the wonderful things that Jesus did by dying on the cross. These are necessary things which we could not possibly have done for ourselves.
2. Jesus, Our Redemption
a) The severity of God falls upon Jesus, and the goodness of God falls upon us. (John 3:16). Therefore the gospel says, "You have been bought with a price" (1 Corinthians 6:20, 7:23) and "God purchased the church with his own blood" (Acts 20:28).
b) The heavenly song praises Jesus, "You purchased for God with your blood men from every nation" (Revelation 5:9). As Jesus faced his own death, he spoke of his "blood... shed for many for the remission of sins" (Matthew 26:28).
c) This paying of our purchase price, is called "redemption". He is our "justification, sanctification, and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30). This redemption (or buying of freedom) is ours by virtue of the "precious blood" of Jesus Christ shed on the cross (1 Peter 1:19).
d) The tree of life put down its roots deep into the death of Christ.
