Lord Jesus, I need You!

REDEEMER How many of us feel like we need a kinsman redeemer, a person who will save us from your station in life. Especially if that station is one of poverty, one of lonliness, one of fear. You and I realize that it is most important to know what is hurting you, how it got there and then to know the one true God. The only One that can heal and deliver us all from yourselves. Yes, we want a Healthy, Whole, sane life. Realizing that doing the same things and getting the same results is the definition of insanity, yet, I continue to refust to exercise, walk, eat right, pray night and day, and hold on to God's unchanging hand. If you are like me, old habits, rekindled are so har to brake. we will learn to have a open heart, to speak the truth, to expose the darkness in our hearts and exercise it through godly counsel. Exposing our hurts to, "the Light," will bring true help.... (See RANSOM). Redeem, Hebrew padhah and ga'al. The go'eel, nearest of kin, had three rights: (1) To purchase back the forfeited inheritance for an Israelite who, through poverty, had sold his land; as Boaz (= might in him; the name of one of the two temple pillars; type of Christ) did for Ruth (Ruth 4:3-5); or to hold land in possession for an impoverished kinsman until the year of jubilee, when it should revert to the original owner (Lev 25:10,13-16,24-28). Antitypically, man the heir of all things bartered his magnificent birthright for vanity; Christ, by assuming our manhood, became our go'eel, and saved us from being disinherited forever (Heb 2:9-15); the full restoration of the inheritance is to be at "the times of restitution of all things" (Acts 3:21; Matt 19:28), the grand last jubilee (Isa 61:2-4); ushered in, as the Israelite jubilee, with the great trumpet (Rev 11:15; 1 Cor 15:52; 1 Thess 4:16; Isa 27:13). (2) The go'eel ransomed his kinsman from bondage to the foreigner (Lev 25:47-49). (from Fausset's Bible Dictionary, Electronic Database Copyright (c)1998 by Biblesoft)
