  21. Jesus – our Redeemer • Became a man (next of Kin) so he could redeem us • Hebrews 2:14 (NLT) 14  Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.

Gave his life to redeem us • Mark 10:45 (NLT) 45  For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” • Paid the ransom price • 1 Peter 1:18-19 (NLT) 18  For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19  It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.

  23. Took his bride unto himself • Ephesians 5:25-27 (NLT) 25  For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her 26  to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. 27  He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.
