Day Four – Freedom From Slavery
Slaves need freedom. To be set free from slavery, a redeemer is needed, which is a mega-theme of Scripture. The big idea is that all people are held captive by someone or something, unable to free themselves. Unless a redeemer steps in, they are helpless and powerless.
The word redemption and its derivatives (e.g., redeemer, redeem) appear roughly 150 times in the English Bible. The prototype for redemption is the Exodus story, where God by divine power delivered people from slavery to worship Him freely.
Eternal life does not begin the day we die. Eternal life begins the day we meet Jesus. When Jesus redeems us, we get a new ruler who loves us and blesses us so that we experience the fullness of life. Captives of the demonic realm need to be set free by Jesus. Jesus began His public ministry promising, “He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives…to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
