Exodus 12---The Redemption Chapter
Learn something about redemption in this chapter. Redemption
is deliverance by payment of a price.
And that’s exactly what we see here in this chapter. Before Israel could be set
free, a price has to be paid. What was the price of Israel's redemption? The
life of the Passover Lamb that served as a substitute for Israel’s firstborn
sons who would have died without it.
In the same way, we are all in bondage to sin. We are in bondage to its power,
its penalty and its very presence. No amount of self-effort on our part could
free us from sin’s bondage.
The price must be paid. We could not pay the price ourselves but God has
provided it in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ when He died on the cross for our sins.
If we avail ourselves of the provision, by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross, we will be
redeemed.
