Jesus Is Kinsman-Redeemer

The Old Testament foreshadows a divine deliverer who would rescue humankind from bondage and captivity. One symbol of this coming redemption was the role of the kinsman-redeemer, a close family member who could choose to rescue a relative by paying his debts.

As the fulfillment of this sign, Jesus became our Kinsman-Redeemer. He became flesh and blood so that He might share in our humanity, becoming the Son of Man as well as the Son of God. He walked with us, identifying with us so that He could pay our debts and show us the way back to our Creator. No one else could have delivered us from our sins and freed us from bondage.
