Redeemed by the Blood

Introduction: John wrote about the “redeeming blood of Jesus in that heavenly scene.”

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Rev 5:9).
 
That includes every race, language, and gentile. I love this song, all five stanzas.
 

1. “Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.”

The word “redeemed” is ἀγοράζω: (ag-or-ad’-zo). It means to buy in the marketplace, or to purchase. Furthermore, it means to buy back with the intend to set free. Jesus sets us free from the penalty, power, and one day, the presence of sin.
Have you been set free?

2. “Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.”

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1Pet1:18,19).

The blood of Jesus is precious! Is it precious to you?

3. “I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.”

We cannot help but sing because we’ve been redeemed!

4. “I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.”

How about that? We shall see Jesus in His beauty.

Conclusion:
The last stanza…..

“I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.”

At last, “Home sweet home”!
