DAILY?READINGS: Ruth 3-4; Isaiah 43 to 44:5; 2 Corinthians 3 to 4:6
Knowing that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver or gold … But with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV)
The Lord Jesus entered this world’s slave market of sin and by the sacrifice of His life bought us out into freedom never to return. The ransom price was His precious blood! Scripture tells us that the “life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). Its value, therefore, resides in the person of God’s beloved Son. His life was given for us, the sons of men, that we might become the sons of God. All praise and glory to Him.

If all the sins of Adam’s race, with perfect justice to each case,
In Heaven’s balances were laid, they would be outweighed by Jesus death.
