Yes for those of you that noticed this is a rehashing of devotional already written, and if you didn't notice then either you didn't read it the first time or it didn't do anything for you. Does not matter here it is again. Read it study and believe in him for he is our redeemer.
To redeem someone requires something valuable as a ransom. Silver and gold and precious metal. However, we were redeemed with something even more valuable--the precious blood of Christ. He is not just a redeemer; he is our kinsman redeemer.
My redeemer lives, Matthew 28: (v 6)The followers of Christ are told he is no longer in the grave for he has risen. Redeemer is define as : deliver: save from sins or restore the honor or worth of. Christ did exactly that for you and I. We are reminded in Isaiah 64; that our righteousness was like filthy rags. Meaning we needed a redeemer, God choose his only begotten son to be that kinsman redeemer.

In 1st Peter chapter 1 we are informed as to how we were redeemed, knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you and I. Again we needed him to set us free for we were bond by sin and enslaved to it. Christ paid the ransom for us and set us free when he rose on that 1st day of the week we now know as Sunday we also rose with him. He made us new creatures in Christ because of his ransom we are redeemed.
He is not just a redeemer; he is our kinsman redeemer. Christ agreed from the foundation of the world to be our redeemer (Revelation 13:8). He came down from heaven as the bread of life (John 6:35). He took on the life of the flesh and was tempted in all points even as we are, and yet did not sin (Hebrews 4:15). He is our elder brother (Hebrews 2:11).

Leviticus 25:47-49 gives us a better idea of what the Hebrew bible says a redeemer is and does.
Colossians 2:13-14 shows how Christ paid our debt for sin when he was nailed to to the cross, as payment for our sins.
"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross."
Because the redeemer lives then does that not mean that the price was paid? You now have been made righteous before the Lord. Oh men of God stop trying to redeem yourselves through works. Have faith in the Lord your God, that when he said it was finished he meant it. So rejoice for our redeemer lives and so do we, with him for eternity.
