There is a Redeemer

02/23/2005

As life progresses, I keep learning more deeply about different aspects of God and who He is. Recently, I’ve been dwelling on Him as my Redeemer. A recent study of the Book of Ruth gave me new insights to what a kinsman-redeemer is to a person. Especially a person who is broken and left alone, unjustified, and without hope.

Job 19: 25-27

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes — I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

Isaiah 54: 5

For your Maker is your bridegroom, his name, GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies! Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel, known as God of the whole earth.
