In Jesus we have redemption.

He bought us back with a hefty price.

Through His blood we are redeemed.

And He forgives my my sins - the wrong things I say and do.

Every time I miss the mark, He brings me back.

He redirects me and sends me on His way.

All because of His marvelous grace.

A Prophet of the Most High

And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven. — Luke 1:26-28

John the Baptist went ahead of Jesus to prepare the way for Him to come.

He was a prophet of the Most High.

He came baptizing people, calling on them to repent of their sins.

Sharing with them the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.

Thanks to God's tender mercy and grace.

In Him We Have Redemption

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. — Ephesians 1:7

Jesus died for us.

In Him we have redemption.

Because Jesus died for us and shed His blood for our sin.

All to forgive us from our sins.

We benefitted from the riches of God's grace.

He is merciful.

And He cares for us even more than the birds, which He clothes in all their beautiful finery.

How much more God provides for us.

Numbering the hairs on our head.

Cleansed with Blood

And almost all things are cleansed with blood, according to the Law, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.— Hebrews 9:22

God provided that sins were forgiven with teh shedding of blood.

So Jesus died for our sins.

He shed His blood for our salvation.

To cleanse us from sin.

Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

We are forgiven in Jesus.

And because of His sacrifice.

Salvation Through Forgiveness

To give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven. — Luke 1:77-78

Jesus gives us forgiveness of our sins.

It happens through God's tender mercy toward us.

He also gives us the knowledge of salvation

Through His death and resurrection.

Knowing that He is alive again means we, too, can have eternal life.

And some day we will live in heaven with our Lord God.

Amazing.
