Redemption and Blessing

Redemption can be a religious term that we have trouble putting into plain language. outside the church setting, how do we use the word? We redeem coupons or IOUs. We might say a bad situation or reputation was redeemed, if the person tried to make up for a wrong.

Neither is exactly what we mean when we say Christ redeems people from sin. So in this lesson we will loook at one of the Bible's stories of redemption to get a clearer idea of what Christ has done.
