Lesson 5
Jesus Christ Redeemed Us
• Redeem =
To buy back, set free
Philippians 2:5-8
5Your
attitude should be the same as that of
Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, 7but made himself
nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness. 8And being
found in appearance as a man, he humbled
himself and became obedient to death—even
death on a cross!
How Did Jesus Redeem Us?
He humbled, that is, emptied
Himself of the full use of His divine
power that was His and fully
became a human being.
The Steps of Christ’s Humiliation
1. conceived
2. born
3. suffered
4. crucified
5. died
6. buried
Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance
with the riches of God's grace.
Isaiah 53:5-6
5
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities; the
punishment that brought us peace was upon
him, and by his wounds we are healed. 6 We
all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us
has turned to his own way; and the LORD has
laid on him the iniquity of us all.
1 Peter 1:18-19
18For
you know that it was not with
perishable things such as silver or gold that
you were redeemed from the empty way of
life handed down to you from your
forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of
Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for
us, so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God.
With What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
The price Jesus paid to redeem me
was His suffering and death as an
innocent substitute.
Romans 6:16-23
16Don't
you know that when you offer
yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves,
you are slaves to the one whom you obey—
whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to
death, or to obedience, which leads to
righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that,
though you used to be slaves to sin, you
wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to
which you were entrusted. 18You have been set
free from sin and have become slaves to
righteousness…
Romans 6:16-23
19I
put this in human terms because you are weak in
your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts
of your body in slavery to impurity and to everincreasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery
to righteousness leading to holiness. 20When you
were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of
righteousness. 21What benefit did you reap at that
time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those
things result in death! 22But now that you have been
set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the
benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is
eternal life. 23For the wages of sin is death, but the
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sin’s guilt and slavery
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of
God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:10
Christ Jesus…has destroyed death and has
brought life and immortality to light through
the gospel.
John 11:25-26
25Jesus
said to her, "I am the resurrection and
the life. He who believes in me will live, even
though he dies; 26and whoever lives and
believes in me will never die. Do you believe
this?"
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sin’s guilt and slavery
2. From death, so I can now have
eternal life
Genesis 3:15
“And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your offspring and
hers; he will crush your head, and you will
strike his heel."
1 John 3:8
The reason the Son of God appeared was to
destroy the devil's work.
Hebrews 2:14-15
14Since
the children have flesh and blood, he
too shared in their humanity so that by his
death he might destroy him who holds the
power of death—that is, the devil— 15and
free those who all their lives were held in
slavery by their fear of death.
From What Did Jesus Redeem Me?
1. From sin’s guilt and slavery
2. From death, so I can now have
eternal life
3. From the devil’s power, so I am no
longer his slave.
Three Enemies of My Soul
devil
sin
death
JESUS DESTROYED THEIR POWER!
Romans 3:23-24
23All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of
God, 24and are justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that came by Christ
Jesus.
The Result of Jesus’ Work of
Redeeming Me
God has justified me
(declared me “Not Guilty”)
and all people.
This is a gift of God’s grace
(undeserved love and mercy).
Luke 19:1-10
1Jesus
entered Jericho and was passing
through. 2A man was there by the name of
Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and
was wealthy. 3He wanted to see who Jesus
was, but being a short man he could not,
because of the crowd. 4So he ran ahead and
climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since
Jesus was coming that way…
Luke 19:1-10
5When
Jesus reached the spot, he looked
up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down
immediately. I must stay at your house
today." 6So he came down at once and
welcomed him gladly.
7All the people saw this and began to
mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a
'sinner.' " …
Luke 19:1-10
8But
Zacchaeus stood up and said to the
Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of
my possessions to the poor, and if I have
cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay
back four times the amount."
9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has
come to this house, because this man, too, is
a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came
to seek and to save what was lost."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19Do
you not know that your body is a temple
of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you
have received from God? You are not your
own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore
honor God with your body.
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
14For
Christ's love compels us, because we
are convinced that one died for all, and
therefore all died. 15And he died for all, that
those who live should no longer live for
themselves but for him who died for them
and was raised again.
1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins in his body on the
tree, so that we might die to sins and live for
righteousness; by his wounds you have been
healed.
Titus 2:14
Christ gave himself for us to redeem us from
all wickedness and to purify for himself a
people that are his very own, eager to do
what is good.
What Am I Now Free To Do
Jesus redeemed me to set me free
for a life of serving Him.
