Meditation

Hi there,

Today's passage is built on the contrast between an earthly redemption, which can be bought with silver or gold, and a spiritual redemption, which can only be bought with the blood of Christ.​

Jesus is our Goel, not a distant relative, but one who pays for our redemption with his own flesh. He doesn't send money; he spends himself and restores us to sonship, to being his own possession.​

The idea of redemption and the redeemer is quite shocking because the redemption price reveals the value of the redeemed.​

The truth that we are worth His blood is extraordinary.

Jesus is Jehovah-Goel.

Today's text is 1 Peter 1:17-21

Be Holy

¹⁷ Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear.​

¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

²⁰ He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. ²¹ Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
