What is a redeemer? And why do we need one? In our age of coupons, rebates, deals, and offers, what does it
mean that we have been redeemed and bought back?
Before we discuss what redeeming means, we need to address why we need to be redeemed. What is the
condition of humanity that makes it necessary for us to be bought back out of our bondage?
When we see our own condition and recognize what Jesus has done to bring us out, we are moved by
compassion for others. We cannot hold back when we truly understand what being redeemed means. It’s so
much more than getting a dollar off – it’s about the exchange of my life for His, and that’s a free offer to
anyone willing to accept. We can share this offer with all we know.
