RANSOMED
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
After over 25years of waiting, Father Abraham’s son of promise was born in the person of Isaac. Finally! One could breathe a sigh of relief; the promise was fulfilled. But, not too long after, some few years later, God required of Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
Hmmmm! Only Abraham can fully tell how he must have felt.
God asked him of Isaac in order to test him; but Abraham did not know this at the time. He loved God more than his possessions and even his son, so he obeyed. He took the young lad; I am not sure he was man enough to tell Mrs. Sarah what he was about to do though. Father Abraham left home with the plan to sacrifice his son on the mountain. He did not know that God already had a plan; God had provided a ransom for Isaac’s life already; because the sacrifice had to be done. So, instead of Isaac, a Ram was provided in exchange, as ransom
Bro. Lazarus on the other hand, had died for four days. Jesus had one way or the other missed the initial invite to come see his friend when he was sick. So the friend died. It is over! Lazarus was not now only dead, he had also been buried. Yet Jesus still came, even though it seemed like he arrived late.
Lazarus was destined to die; which he did; yet, he was not supposed to remain dead. Hallelujah! Jesus came and changed the trajectory of Lazarus situation and that of his entire family and community. In the case of Lazarus, there was no need for a ransom, the case was already concluded, he was dead and buried, and all hope was gone. Yet Jesus stepped into the situation, and turned the situation around.
It does not matter what you may be going through, be it God ordained, Man made or circumstantial, I have come to inform you that nothing is Impossible with God.
Because of His love for you, He came into the world, He became man; He modeled a life of dominion not subjected to the doctrine and lies of His time; but rather, He proved to the world the awesome power that has been made available to all who would dare to live by the Word of God. His life and living on earth was an overcoming life.
Afterwards, He had to die, because death is inevitable for every man; because the wages for sin is death, hence, it is imperative that you die, to be able to live the victorious life that was paid for with the precious blood of Jesus. Hence, he having to die; if you would only dare to believe on Him, you would not die anymore.
Jesus did not only die to ransom you, He also rose from the dead to ensure that nothing and no one robs you of your right and inheritance in Him.
“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:” You are no longer indebted to sin, you are not meant to die anymore; neither are you supposed to remain imprisoned by whatever or whoever.
Jesus did it! He paid it all!
He gave His life in exchange for your life so that you can live and walk in liberty as an heir of the Kingdom of God. And do you know what is most amazing of this truth, He did not only pay for your freedom with His blood and life, He also rose from the dead, He came back to life to ensure that you are not tricked into remaining in the bondage and curse of sin. Your saviour is alive, and is watching over you, He is waiting at the door of your heart, knocking…
