JESUS PAID THE PRICE
“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.”
Isaiah 55:1 (WEB) ?
Main Text: Main text: Mark 10:45
The Bible teaches us that we were bought with a price(1 Cor. 6:20) and Jesus paid His life for our salvation and justification. Jesus told His disciples many times of His death but this is the first time He indicated the reason for His death. The death of Jesus signified a ransom and this is defined in the Greek as a means of loosing by paying a price.
Jesus didn’t only pay the price for our sin, but His death would be substitutionary. In 1 Timothy 2:6 the word ransom is taken from the Greek Word “antilutron” which means a redemption price. The Greek Word “anti” means “in place of” in other words, the ransom avails for all who will accept it (Jn 3:16).
The price paid for our redemption is the life of Jesus. This redemption according to Hebrews 9:12 is eternal and is intended to purify us from all iniquity and bring us to serve the living God.
Confession:
I declare right now that I am healthy, healed, delivered, and freed from the bondage of sin. I am the head always, and never the tail. I am above only, and never beneath. I lend, not borrow, and everything I put my hands to prospers.
