Redemption is deliverance from a bondage under which man has placed himself through transgression—deliverance at an unspeakable price. The shedding of His blood was “for the remission of sins” (see on Matt. 26:28).
Redemption.
Gr. apolutrōsis, “a buying back,”“a ransoming,”“a deliverance” (see on Rom. 3:24).
In whom.
This redemption is brought about by something more than a kind of cooperation with Christ or a mere mystical union with Him. Christ is the “living sphere” of redemption; it is in His person that the great work is accomplished. He is at once the Architect, the Master Builder, and the Cornerstone. He is the Shepherd as well as the Door to the fold (John 10:1-14).
Through his blood.
The life is in the blood (Lev. 17:11). The spilled blood of Christ represents the life that has been laid down to redeem man.
