“God’s Plan Of Redemption”

Key Verse
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7).TEXT — Ephesians 1:1-14
Message
Stories of heroism sometimes engender a dilemma as to whether to cheer or cry or perhaps do both together. Such is the story of a mother caught in a wildfire with her infant child. The inferno came quick and fast, driven by wild gusts of wind. The raging fire had closed off all escape routes; she was trapped. The brave mother would save her baby at any cost, so she desperately shifted some earth with her bare hands, creating a little hole in the ground into which she deposited the child. Then she laid on the little hole, making herself a human shield. The firefighters found her badly burnt body and, under it, a now-motherless child who his hero had saved. Such was the price of our redemption paid by Christ.
Apostle Paul, in today’s text, while blessing God for adopting us (the Gentiles) as children emphasises the role of Jesus Christ by whose sacrificial death both the Jews and the Gentiles find redemption. He attributed our spiritual privileges of salvation and receiving the Holy Ghost to God’s abundant wisdom and goodness.
Adam’s fall and disobedience in the Garden of Eden turned all of humanity into slaves of Satan. God’s answer to the age-old sin problem was a redemption plan hinged on paying a heavy ransom. He sent His only begotten Son to pay that price by shedding His precious blood. Jesus left His glory and majesty in heaven for earthly pain and shame and bore our guilt and condemnation on the cross, thereby satisfying the righteous judgment of God. His substitutionary death secured our pardon and sealed our position of sonship in the family of God.
When, on the cross, Jesus cried, “It is finished!”, God’s plan for the ages was completed. All who believe can now enjoy the full provisions of grace with all the attendant redemptive rights. The price has been paid in full. The same plan that routed Satan rescued the sons of Adam from eternal hell. It is finished; the work of salvation is done. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, including you. If you have not been saved, why not now? Pray as you sincerely repent of your sins and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thought for the day
All the ransomed can rest in the provisions of Calvary.
