You are redeemed - Gladstone

Apr 16, 2023    Kayla Meredith

The prophet Isaiah spoke to the people of Israel, reminding them that they are redeemed — meaning, to be bought back. The word was applied to people who had sold themselves into slavery. For a price, someone could “buy back” the debt and set them free. It has come to mean the ability for a mistake to be forgiven and even used for good. This week, we will talk about the idea that we are redeemed — our mistakes are not only forgiven, but our sins and shortcomings can even become the vehicle for something good.
