Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth with some great news. There is a Redeemer, one who paid the price to win back all the losses occasioned by your sin.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Adorned, living out the beauty of the gospel together.

For Wednesday, April 1st, I'm Dana Gresh.

You have been redeemed. Let that sing in for a moment. Today, be prepared to be struck by the

wonder that you have a redeemer. Nancy's continuing in the series, Holy Week Heart Prep,

the wonderful names of Jesus. As followers of the Lord Jesus, we call this week Holy Week.

It's the week that we remember the passion of the Lord Jesus,

beginning with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem,

and then continuing with his last supper,

his travail in Gassimony,

his arrest, his trial, his crucifixion, his burial,

all of those events leading up to Resurrection Day.

Now this is also the week that our Jewish friends celebrate Passover.

There's one word that captures what both the Christian and the Jewish observances of this week are about.

It's a word we want to look at today, the word redemption. Redemption. In fact, the whole Bible

is a drama of redemption from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. That redemptive story is

prefigured, it's shadowed in the Old Testament, and then in the New Testament, that story is

fulfilled in the redeeming work of Christ, our Redeemer. We want to look today at Christ as our Redeemer. He's never actually called

Redeemer, but he is clearly the one who redeems, and we want to celebrate Christ as our

Redeemer today. Now, the word redemption speaks of deliverance. It speaks of rescue and release

and recovery. It's not a word we often use in our everyday language.

So we want to look through the scripture for some hints at what this is all about.
