Our Redeemer
As I was finishing reading Jeremiah this morning, I came across this verse (50:34):
Yet their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name…
To redeem means to “buy back” or “set free from distress or harm”. As I pondered on the Redeemer who rescues Israel from the confines of exile is the same Redeemer who frees us from the confines of sin (Titus 2:13-14).
Lord, thank you for your Living Word that applies to us today just as much as it applied in Jeremiah and the Old Testament. Amen.
