Dec 6 – Redeemed _ Isaiah 62:12
Isaiah states that the people of God are redeemed. They are redeemed by the Lord. Just like Ruth was redeemed by Boaz so we have been bought back from slavery by the Lord. In the book of Hosea. We find a powerful picture. Hosea was called by the Lord to marry a lady called Gomer. Gomer left the prophet for a time and fell into slavery. Hosea found out that she was on the slave block and bought her back. This is a picture of what the Lord has done for us. We were in slavery to sin and wickedness. He came and redeemed us through the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ. Like the hymn we should live in redemption and proclaim it to all for the glory of God.
