ISAIAH 54:5 - OUR REDEEMER


OUR REDEEMER
By Susie Hale & Susan Slade, Precious Jewels Ministries

Israel was often in captivity
due to their rebellious sin,
But when it seemed all hope was gone,
The Redeemer entered in.
The Lord Himself as their husband
Would rescue them from their foes
Like a kinsman-redeemer would buy back slaves
or save a widow from financial woes.
Boaz in redeeming Naomi’s land
And marrying the widowed Ruth
Was a foreshadowing of our Husband, Jesus,
the Way, the Life, and the Truth.
We were in need of redemption.
Our sin had us deeply enslaved.
Jesus paid the price to free us,
Dying that we might be saved.
Christ will not leave us abandoned.
When we entrust our lives to His grace,
He becomes our protector, provider;
That no other man can replace.
