Redemption

by Courtney GilmoreUpdated on April 17, 2023June 24, 2021

Redemption can be thought of like a coupon. Someone else already paid for the item & gave us the coupon. Then we give that coupon to the store in exchange for the item. Jesus paid the price for our sins & gave a coupon to every person on earth. But to receive the salvation He purchased for us we have to offer God His blood on behalf of our specific sins. Jesus buys us back even if we are completely used up, damaged, destroyed, & broken. Then He makes us whole, complete, & righteous before He gives us back to God. Wouldn’t it be a shame not to exchange that coupon?

Enter With A Sacrifice

So, examine your life. Repent of your sins & approach the Lord with a heart sprinkled by the blood of Jesus. Offer Him to the Lord & ask that He accept the Sacrifice on behalf of your sins. Then let God write His law on your heart & mind, that you may follow Jesus, now on earth & eternally into the throne room in Heaven.

Jesus – Messiah & Sacrifice

by Courtney GilmoreUpdated on April 17, 2023April 20, 2021

Jesus is the High Priest because He intercedes on our behalf & offered Himself up for us .Because He was the perfect sacrifice, there was no need for any more sacrifices. Because He lives forever, there was no need for another high priest to replace Him. So, He is the forever King & High Priest. He also was the Perfect Sacrifice, that put an end to all insufficient animal sacrifices. That is why He could say on the cross, “It is finished.” He finished what the priests started & accomplished completely what they could only accomplish temporarily.

1 Samuel 5-7

God demonstrates His power over the god of the Philistines.
God also sends a plague on them and they eventually return the ark.
The Israelites receive the ark and worship God.
But when some of the people are irreverent towards the ark and die, they too are afraid of the ark and they send it away.
After 20 years of missing God, the people return to Him wholeheartedly.

After we go over the story we apply it to our lives.
When it looks like God’s power is lacking, it’s only restrained.
