The Lord said the land shall not be sold forever, for the land is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me, and in all the land of your possession you shall Grant a Redemption for the land. God claimed the ownership of the land. He said it belongs to me. [00:01:50]

The laws of redemption dealt not only with the land but also with the individuals, because there were times when an individual would fall onto hard times, have debts that he could not pay, and thus he would sell himself as a slave in order to pay the debts. [00:04:37]

Whenever this happened the family member would be known as the goel or the family Redeemer. Let's create a suppositional case. If we were under the law of Moses and this law of redemption, let us say that we owned some property in South County that we have been farming. [00:05:13]

The price would be determined on how many years it was until the Year of Jubilee, because in the Year of Jubilee the land would come back to you no matter what. But let's say in the meantime things turned good again, and the family wanted to purchase the land. [00:06:39]

Ruth went out to glean and she happened to glean and the field of a man whose name was Boaz. It just so happened that Boaz was her father-in-law's brother the father-in-law Illinois who had died. Boaz was his brother, and when he saw Ruth he was very attracted to her. [00:11:38]

Boaz said to the elders and unto the people you are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was a limilex and all that was Chileans and melons at the hand of Naomi. Moreover Ruth the moabitus the wife of melon have I purchased to be my wife. [00:17:04]

This is the reason why Jesus became a man, in order that he might as a man be of kinship with mankind, and as a kin of man could pay the price to redeem the world and to redeem man from the bondage and slavery we are told. [00:20:40]

Jesus came to redeem the world back from Satan's ownership or power. He became a man in order that he might redeem the world that had been sold by man, and redeem man who had sold his own soul unto Satan. [00:22:50]

John said I turned and there in the midst of the throne, I saw him, he looked like a lamb that had been slain, and he stepped forth and he took the scroll out of the right hand of him who sat upon the throne. [00:26:25]

God's love for lost man and God's desire for the lost world he sent his only begotten son to pay the price to redeem the world back to himself in order that he might redeem lost man unto himself. [00:29:21]

Redemption, God offers it to each of us today, however you don't have to take it. If you say I love living in sin, I love the pleasures of sin, I love the evil of this world, I don't want to depart from it I want to live in this world I love it as it is. [00:31:59]

You can experience Redemption today, Jesus is has provided the necessary means whereby you can be redeemed, but you must make the choice. Father we thank you for this beautiful story of redemption, how you've woven it through all of the scriptures. [00:32:58]
