In this bible talk from Exodus 12 by Steve Cree, we conclude our “Bible in 3 talks” overview. In our first week of the series we saw the ‘bookends’ of the Bible Story: Genesis 1-2 and Revelation 21-22; creation and new creation; “beautiful one day, perfect the next”. But we were left with two big questions: “what went wrong?”, which we looked at last week in ‘the Fall’; and “how did it ever get put right?”, which we now take up in this 3rd talk, ’Redemption’.
And if the “what went wrong” story is all about US: fallen humans…Adam, Israel, Israel’s kings… every person ever… reaching for independence from God; the “how did it every get put right?” story is very much all about JESUS: the perfectly obedient one, the lamb without blemish, the new Adam, the true Israel, the true king, the one who brings the blessing seen at creation and promised to Abraham—the perfect lamb of God who redeems us, who buys us back to God with his blood, forever. But we don’t just live in that hope as a future event, but a present reality of God’s presence by his Spirit, causing us to grow like Jesus as obedient children whop again listen to and obey our Father.
Key Verse
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
