My redeemer lives

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

Luke 1; Galatians 4; Job 19

Oh what a privilege to know that we have a redeemer and He lives. Luke celebrates the coming of our redeemer and honours our Father for the gift of His Son; Paul in galatians reminds us because of Christ we are children of God and we are to live by faith.

Job reminds us  that our Father is the beginning and the end. we are to trust and revere Him no matter the circumstance.

Just as we said in the first blog this year, In the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit we have HOPE.
