Redeemer Past and Present

Reading for discussion: Leviticus 25.  

 

The God of creation, who made the heavens and the earth redeemed Israel.  He brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they belonged to Him.  He was their God and they were His people.  They were certainly reasons that the people lost the land, but ultimately this was a microcosm of the greater thing that God did by redeeming the people of all nations through His Son Jesus Christ.  If we claim Him as our God in faith, He claims us as His own through His Son.
