Redemption
The Bible’s Cosmic Rescue Story Unfolds
Contents
At its core, biblical redemption is about reclaiming what has been lost. In the Exodus and beyond, God is reclaiming his people from death.
The Main Idea
In the Bible, redemption often involves restoring possessions to their owner or liberating people from situations of distress or death. God redeems his people from slavery during Passover. This image points forward to a greater redemption that comes when Jesus reclaims us from death itself.
