The Kinsman Redeemer

Q: What does the Bible say about kinsman-redeemers?

The concept of a kinsman-redeemer is rooted in Leviticus 25, where a relative has the right to redeem a family member's lost inheritance. The kinsman-redeemer plays a crucial role in the story of Ruth and illustrates God's redemptive love. According to Leviticus 25:25, if a relative became poor and sold their property, a close family member could come forward to redeem it, restoring the family’s inheritance. This concept exemplifies the mercy and justice inherent in God's dealings with humanity, as emphasized in the narrative of Ruth and Boaz's relationship. Boaz, as Ruth's kinsman-redeemer, represents Christ, who redeems His people and restores their inheritance in Him, as revealed throughout Scripture.

Q: How do we know Jesus is our redeemer?

Jesus is our redeemer because He fulfills the role of the kinsman-redeemer by paying the price for our sins and restoring our relationship with God. In the same way that Boaz redeemed Ruth, our Lord Jesus Christ serves as our kinsman-redeemer. He meets all the qualifications required by the law to redeem us; unlike Boaz, who faced an obstacle in another relative's claim, Jesus overcame the barrier of sin and fulfilled the law perfectly. The New Testament makes it clear that we are redeemed not with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19). This redemptive act restores what was lost through sin, providing not only forgiveness but also a new identity as children of God, thereby highlighting the pivotal role of Christ in our salvation.

Q: Why is understanding redemption important for Christians?

Understanding redemption is essential for Christians as it emphasizes God's grace and the restoration of our relationship with Him through Christ. For Christians, grasping the concept of redemption is crucial because it reveals the depth of God's love and grace in restoring what was lost due to sin. In the narrative of Ruth, the act of redemption is not merely legalistic but deeply relational and transformative, pointing to the love that God has for His people. Through redemption, believers reclaim their identity in Christ, receive forgiveness, and are brought into the family of God. The assurance of being redeemed allows Christians to live in confidence, free from the guilt of sin, knowing they are fully accepted and loved by God.

You know, I turned to Ruth, the
book of Ruth, again. I was looking at, in the book
of Matthew, chapter 1, the genealogy of Christ our Lord. It's most interesting to note
that Boaz, of whom we'll be reading in a moment and studying, was
the son of Rahab the harlot. Did you know that? I didn't know
it. I just looked at it. is the son of the woman who put the
scarlet lion out the window in Jericho. And Ruth, of whom we'll
be looking and studying, is the great-grandmother of King David. Now, Ruth and Boaz were married
after this story here. And their first child was Obed,
and Obed was the father of Jesse, who was the father of David.
This is powerful here. Christ. This is Christ. This is our Lord Jesus. This
is His family. This is the lineage through which
He came. This is the kingly line of Israel.
And this is just powerful. So there's enough preaching in
the book of Ruth to last for many months. A lot of sermons
could be preached from the book of Ruth. But as the Holy Spirit
leads, I want to lay the groundwork or the foundation of what I believe
to be the main teaching of this book. There are all kinds of
spiritualizing that you can do. You can pick up different statements,
hands full of purpose and things like that, and preach whole sermons.
And about all the average person ever has learned from the book
of Ruth is that Naomi was going back to Judah or Israel And Ruth
said, Suffer me not to leave thee. Your God will be my God,
and your people my people, and your home my home, and so forth.
That's about all people know about Ruth. That's about all
most of you know about Ruth. But that's just a drop in the
bucket. That's not even the foundation. So here it is. Now listen to
it, and we'll be reading some. But there was a man of Israel,
and this is important to know this. There was a man of Israel
named Elimelech, and he was a princely man. He had two dumb sons. That's right, their names indicate
their lack of brightness or brilliance. But anyway, Elimelech was of
Bethlehem, Judah. He was a prince in Israel. But
he left Israel. There was a famine in the land,
and he left. He took his two sons and his
wife. Now, Elimelech's name means, my God, he's king. That's what
his name means. And Naomi, his wife, Her name
meant sweet and pleasant. My goddess King was married to
sweet and pleasant. But there was a famine in the
land and Elimelech took his sons and his wife Naomi and sold out. He sold out his inheritance and
packed up, locked stock and barrel, and left the land of Israel.
And you know where he went? He went to dwell in a pagan land,
Moab. And while he was there, possibly
the judgment of God. While he was there, he died.
And he left Naomi and these two sons. And the two sons married
these Moab women, Moabites. They married them. And they lived
with them for ten years. And then the two sons took sick
and died. So Naomi determined she was Her
husband was dead. Her sons were dead. She was left
with these two daughters-in-law. She determined to return back
to her country, back to Israel. And she told her daughters-in-law
that she was leaving. I'm going back to Israel, going
back to Bethlehem. And told them to stay with their
people. Well, one of them wasn't willing.
And that's that famous passage if you look at Ruth chapter 1,
verse 16. And Ruth said, and we can't preach
on Ruth without using this, entreat me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee. For whither thou goest, I will
go. And where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my
people, and thy God my God. And where thou diest, will I
die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more
also, if aught but death part thee and me. So Ruth and Naomi
returned to Bethlehem, the land of Israel, to the people of God.
Now here she comes into the land of Israel, into Bethlehem. And the people, they knew her,
she'd just been gone 10-15 years. And when she came back, they
all gathered around her. Now look at verse 19 of Ruth
1. So they too went until they came
to Bethlehem. It came to pass when they would
come to Bethlehem that all the city was moved about them. And they said, Is this Naomi?
Is this Naomi? Is this sweet, pleasant? And
she said, Call me not Naomi, that is pleasant. Call me Mara,
bitter. For the Almighty hath dealt very
bitterly with me. I went out full, and the Lord
hath brought me home again empty. I went out full. Is this not
a picture of man's fall? Is this not a picture of man's
departure from God? Adam in the Garden of Eden? My
God is King, and Eve's sweet, pleasant, beautiful relationship,
everything perfect. And Adam sold his possessions,
sold his birthright, sold his inheritance, sold all of his
relationship with God and left, went out from God. He went out
full, and now he's empty. In other words, the prince is
now a pauper. The king is now a beggar. The
sweet is now bitter. The full is now empty. The blessed
is now cursed. When Naomi and her husband and
two sons left Israel, they left wealthy, well-clothed, happy. They had sold their possessions. They had partied with everything.
They left the land. People told them goodbye. And
then one day into town comes this stooped, bent, aged, drawn,
weary, sad, broken woman. And somebody says, Is this Naomi?
Is this Naomi? And she said, Don't call me sweet
and pleasant. You call me bitter. Bitter. The Almighty dealt bitterly
with me. Well, they came to Bethlehem
at the beginning of the barley harvest. And Naomi and Ruth being
poor, and they were poor. I'll show you how poor they were.
When I lived down in Alabama back during the Depression, people
were poor then. And they used to go out, the
railroad trains would come by and with the coal cars and coal
would fall off the trains. And some of our neighbors had
to go out and pick up coal along the railroad. Some of y'all might
have had to do that back in those days. Take a sack and drag it
along behind you and pick up something to burn. Well, Naomi
and Ruth came to Bethlehem during the barley harvest, and you know
how they got enough to eat? Ruth would go out into the barley
fields, and when the reapers went through, and when the reapers
went through, they didn't get everything. They got most everything,
but few strands of barley would fall and would be left. She got
her a sack, and she'd go out there behind those reapers, and
she'd pick up what they left. She'd pick up the leaves, the
scraps. the crumbs that fall from the Master's table, if you
please. But she'd go pick up the scraps. That's what she says
in chapter 2, in verse 2, it says, And Ruth the Moabitess
said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field and glean ears of
corn, after him in whose sight I shall find grace. In verse
3, And she went and came and gleaned in the fields after the
reapers. Now watch verse 3 again. And
her hap, that word is happen, she happened to light on a part
of the field belonging to Boaz. Well, we know it was no accident.
It's God's purpose. But here Ruth is, poor, poor
beggar, pauper, out there in the field, beautiful woman, I'm
sure because we'll see in the next few verses, as she was walking
along behind the reapers and picking up those pieces of grain
that fell and that they didn't get, Boaz saw her. Boaz Soren,
he said in verse 5, Boaz said to his servant, who is that,
who's that damsel? He attracted his attention. And
the servant, verse 6, it was said over the reapers answered
and said, it's the Moabitish damsel, it's a Gentile, mind
you, that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab. And
she told me, let me glean and gather after the reaper. So she
came and she's continued. She's been here ever since early
morning until now that she tarried a little in the house. And Boab
says to Ruth, now watch this, hearest thou not my daughter?
Go not to glean in another field. Stay in my field by my maidens. and let thine eyes be on the
field that they do reap, and go thou after them. And I have
charged the young men that they not molest thee, or touch thee.
And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of
that which the young men have drawn." And she fell on her face
and bowed herself to the ground and said, Why have I found grace
in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing
I am a stranger? So she followed along. And he
told, look at verse 16, Boaz told the Reapers, he said, don't
reproach her, verse 15, he said in verse 16, watch this, and
let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her. In other
words, he said, you Reapers going down through the fields, let
a little extra fall, let a little extra fall, and let her pick
it up, and don't you reproach her. That's what the boss said,
he said, you leave her alone. So Ruth gleaned all that day,
and they left her some handfuls on purpose, and she came home
that evening. She came back home that evening.
And Naomi asked her, Naomi said, where have you been gleaning?
Boy, she had a sack full of barley. And Naomi said, where have you
been gleaning? And she said that I've been gleaning in the field
of a man by the name of Boaz. Now verse 20. of Ruth 2. And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law,
Blessed be the Lord, blessed be the Lord, who hath not left
off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said
unto her, This man, Boaz, in whose field you've been gleaning,
is kin to us. He is my husband's cousin. That's
who he was. He's my husband. He's our kinsman.
We're of his family. He was a wealthy man. Powerful
man, powerful leader in the city. And you get the story here that
here are these two women, widows, both of them, one old, one young. And the young one says, we've
got to have something to eat. I'm going out in the fields and
follow the reapers. And it was dangerous. The young
men molested those beggars, those women that followed the reapers.
They mistreated them. They reproached them. how they
would treat a woman like that, following the reapers, picking
up, begging, you know, scrap. Well, she went into this field
and she started picking up the scrap barley, and this powerful,
fine, wealthy man said, Who is that? He set his affections and
his love on her right away. And they told him, and he said,
You leave her alone. And he went to her and he said, Now, you
stay in my field. Why don't you go in another field? You stay
in my field. And you're welcome to all you pick up." And he turned
to his men and he said, leave her a little extra, that little
extra drop. And she came home that night
just prospered, just with all, just a whole sack full. And they
all said, where have you been? She said, oh, she said, I've
been in the field with a man called Boaz. And they all said,
praise the Lord. He's our kin, folks. He's our
kin, folks. He is our kinsman. And more than
that, turn to Leviticus chapter 25. Now here, here's the key,
Leviticus 25. When she said, he is our kinsman,
Naomi is saying a whole lot more than that. A whole lot more than
that. That's about all the average
person thinks. I got a rich uncle, you know, a rich cousin, and
it will be well with me. But that meant a whole lot more
than that. Look at Leviticus 25, 25. If thy brother be waxen
poor, and hath sown away, of his possession, some it says,
of his possession. And that's what a limeleck had
done, hadn't he? He'd sold everything he had. He'd gone. He left town. He left Bethlehem. Naomi and
Ruth came back. Now, some of the land belonged,
used to belong to Naomi. Her husband was a prince. My
God, his king. He was an important man. He had
fields himself in Bethlehem, but he had forfeited them. He'd
lost them. He'd given them away, sold them.
He'd given them up. and then belong to a stranger.
And now, if that happens, now read on, and if any of his kin
come to redeem him, then shall he redeem that which his brother
sold. In other words, if Don Fitzer
and I were brothers, or cousins, or I was his uncle, and I foolishly,
or by some misfortune, I lost my land, I had beautiful fields
out here, and I lost them all. I sold them. I had to sell them
to pay my bill. I went bankrupt. According to
the law of Israel, Don could come. He's my kin. If he would
do it, if he's willing, he could come and buy back my inheritance
and give it to me. Everything I lost, he has the
right. He has the right to redeem. Now,
a stranger, the bank couldn't redeem it. John Doe couldn't
redeem it. My kinsman had to redeem it.
That's according to the law of Israel. The kinsman redeemer,
that's where it came from. The kinsman, he could come and
say, I feel sorry for you, I love you, you're my friend, not only
my kin but my friend, I'm buying back here and I'm going to put
you back in business. Buy back everything you lost.
And that's the key to this book. Look at Ruth 2 again, verse 20. That's what Naomi says, the last
line in verse 20 of Ruth 2. She says, he's our next kinsman.
Alright, look at Ruth 3, I read it a moment ago, verse 9. When
she came and lay at his feet, he covered her and she said to
him, Thou art a near kinsman. Verse 9, the last line. You are
my kinsman. You have the right to redeem
me. I've lost everything, but you have the right to give back
to me. All right, look at verse 3 and 4 of chapter 4. And he
said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is, come again out of the
country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother's,
Elimelech. And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the
inhabitants and before the elders of my people. If you'll redeem
it, redeem it. If you'll not redeem it, I'll
redeem it. So that's what this book's all about. It's about
redemption. All right. Now, let me tell you
this part of the story I read. Now, you've got the key. Ruth came in and said to Naomi,
I've been reaping in the field of Boaz. And Naomi said, praise
the Lord, he is our kinsman. He can redeem us. He can redeem
our land. He can give you a home and happiness
and make you his wife. Now she said, tell me what you
do. She said, go to the threshing floor tonight. Boab, the near
kinsman, will be working at the threshing floor and he'll be
spending the night there. You wash yourself and anoint
yourself and clothe yourself, and after he's asleep, you go
and cover his feet and lie at his feet, and he'll tell you
what to do. And I read it to you a moment
ago, Boaz awoke, and there was Ruth at his feet. He said, Who
are you? She said, I'm Ruth. Thou art
my kinsman redeemer. And he said, Praise the Lord,
and so forth. He said, Now you just stay there
till the morning. He said, You've got a kinsman.
that has first claim on you. Now this is important here. There
is an uncle, I'm a cousin, but there's an uncle, and he's got
first claim on you, and I can't buy you, I can't redeem you,
I can't restore you, I can't purchase that property until
I first present it to him, for he has the first right, and I
will do it. Now, so the next day, Boaz, look
at chapter 4, Boaz went to the gate, of the city, and he sat
down. And behold, the kinsmen of whom
Boaz spake came by, this uncle came by, unto whom Boaz said,
Ho, such a one, turn aside and sit down. He turned aside and
he sat down. And he took ten men of the elders of the city
and said, You sit here. And they sat down. I want you
to witness it. Now, Boaz said to the kinsmen, Naomi, that is
come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of
land, which was our brothers of Lemuelect. In other words,
they've lost it all. And they want it back. They want
it back. They want their inheritance.
They want it restored. And I thought to advertise it
to thee, saying, buy it, you buy it. You're the kinsmen before
the inhabitants, before the elders of my people. Now, if you'll
redeem it, redeem it. But if you'll not redeem it,
then tell me that I may know. For there's none to redeem it
besides you, and I am after you. And the kinsman-redeemer, this
other fellow, said, well, I'll do it. I'll do it. Uncle said,
I'll do it. Uh-oh, got a problem. All right,
Boaz said, the day that you buy the field of the hand of Naomi,
you must also buy Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise
up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. You've got to
marry Ruth. And the kinsman said, I can't redeem it. I can't redeem
it. If those are the circumstances,
I can't do it. Lest I mar my own inheritance,
redeem thou my right to thyself, I cannot redeem it. Well, the
story goes that Boaz did. Now, what does this mean? Let
me go back and pick up the story now. Ruth's out there in the
field, the stranger, the pauper, the beggar. Boaz is Christ. Boaz saw her and loved her. Even
so, our Lord Jesus Christ, here in His love, not that we loved
God, He loved us. The affection was on His part,
not ours. We're the beggars. We're the
paupers. We're the ones who've lost our
inheritance. We're the ones that are out there in the fields,
picking up the crumbs, what's left. But our Lord Jesus Christ
cared for us and loved us and set His affections upon us. And
He provided for us and it was in His heart to redeem us. It
was in Boab's heart to redeem that woman when he first met
her. He knew who she was. He told her he knew who she was.
She said, I'm a stranger. He said, I know who you are.
You're Ruth the Moabitess. You're the woman that came back
with Naomi. I know all about you. I know
all about you. And our Lord does. He says, I
know my sheep. He set His love on us long before
we knew Him, long before we saw Him, long before we loved Him.
We are, as it were, by accident in his field, as far as we're
concerned, but on purpose, as far as he's concerned. Purpose. All right. Secondly, we're found
at his feet. Scripture says that Ruth came
and curled up at his feet. And this is where those who want
to be redeemed. When Ruth learned who he was,
when Ruth found out who he was, When her mother-in-law told her
the power of the near kinsman, when Naomi, her mother-in-law,
told her of the strength of her near kinsman and who that was,
she was willing to do what? Lie at his feet. And she came
and uncovered his feet and curled herself up around his feet. The
beggar who will be redeemed will be found at the feet of the Redeemer.
That's right, Mary, the scripture says every time it talks about
Mary is the one who sat at his feet. When it talks about the
harlot in the home of Simon, she was at his feet. And then
the Canaanite woman upon whom our Lord showed mercy, she said,
when he called her a dog, she said, that's true, I am a dog,
but a dog eats the crumbs that fall from the master's table.
Boaz didn't owe Ruth anything. Boaz was not under obligation
to do anything for Ruth. Boaz was not required by law
to do anything for Ruth. It was out of the goodness and
mercy and grace of his own heart. And she wanted him to know that
she knew that. She wanted him to know that she
knew that. That's what she was doing at his feet. She didn't
arrange an appointment down at his office on Saturday morning.
She didn't arrange an apartment and come down there and start
making some pleas. Now, Boaz, if you'll do this,
I'll tell you what I'll do. And Boaz, if you'll, now you're
the near kinsman and you know Elimelech was your cousin and
you owe it to your cousin. My cousin was a fool. My cousin
had a position and lost it. My cousin had land and sold it.
My cousin had power and gave it up. No, I owe him nothing.
You see what I'm saying? The bargaining center is a fool.
But this dear, precious girl found herself curled up at his
feet. At his feet. That's where the
man who really means business and who wants to be redeemed,
and it touched his heart. It touched his heart. Boaz looked
and he said, Who are you? And she said, I'm Ruth. And he
said, Blessed be thou of the Lord. Virtuous but humble. A woman of strength, but a woman
of a contrite spirit. I'm nothing. She said over here,
look at chapter 2, verse 10. She fell on her face and bowed
herself to the ground and said, Why have I found grace in your
eyes that you should take knowledge of me? I'm a stranger. I'm a
Gentile. I'm a Moabitist. I'm nothing.
I'm not even an Israelite. Now, I'm saying to you that this
is a mighty important point here. that we be found at his feet,
that we be found stripped, that we be found broken, that we be
found humble, that we be found as beggars at the feet, on the
floor, in the dust, the feet of our Lord, begging. Oh, God
be merciful to me a sinner. If you want to strive, you strive
with the potsherds of this earth, but don't strive with God. If
you want to have a bargaining session or conflict, you have
it with a people of this world, not with the living God. He doesn't
owe you anything. We played the fool and turned from God. We
played the fool and left the paradise. We played the fool
and gave up our inheritance. We played the fool and rebelled
against God. And he doesn't owe us anything.
He can, but he doesn't owe it. All right, watch this. So Boaz
went down to the gate to intercede for Ruth. He wanted Ruth. He
loved Ruth. He wanted Ruth. But he knew somebody
stood in his way. You know who that somebody was?
Christ loved us. Having loved His own, He loved
them to the end. He set His affections on us. He wanted us. But you
know who has first claim on you? The law of God. That's who has
first claim. The law of God. Who has the first
claim on the sinner? What did God say to Adam in the
garden? He gave him the law. He said, keep it and live. Keep
it and live. That's the first covenant to
be revealed. Here's the law. Keep it and live.
That law has a relationship to us. Everybody who's born into
this world is born under the law. It has a relationship to
us. We have an obligation to it.
That law has a claim on us. And so our Lord turned to Job
chapter 9. This is what bothered Job. This
is the reason he kept asking these questions here. In Job
chapter 9, listen to this, verse 2. In Job 9 verse 2, I know it
so of a truth, how can man, how can man be just with God? How
can man be redeemed? How can man be bought back? How
can man be just with God? Look at Job 25. Job chapter 25. Verse 4, how can man be justified
with God? How can he be clean that is born
of a woman? How can this inheritance be restored? Alright, Boaz sits there and
talks to the uncle, and the uncle says, I'll redeem, I'll redeem
Naomi's lost inheritance. And Boaz said, when you do, you
have to marry Ruth because she's part of it. I said, I can't do
that. That's to marry my own inheritance.
Now, several writers have suggested several things, that he already
was married, that he already had a family, that he had a contentious
person. to whom he was married. He couldn't
take Ruth in. He said, I can't do it. It'll mess up my whole
inheritance. It'll violate my own position. Now watch this. The law cannot
save you and me, cannot redeem you and me. What the law could
not do because of the weakness of the flesh, God sending his
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh redeemed us, condemned
sin in the flesh. The law couldn't redeem. If the
law tried to take us to heaven, the law would dishonor itself.
You see that? If Almighty God, in his righteousness
and justice, were to take man to heaven without a substitute,
without a price being paid, without blood being shed, without an
offering being given, then God would cease to be just. He would
mar his own inheritance. If the law tried to redeem us,
the law would mar its character. It wouldn't be honorable. You
see, if God, we have lost our standing with God, we've lost
our righteousness, and if He turns around and takes us to
glory without a righteousness, He'd mar the law, He'd dishonor
the law. If God took us to heaven without
our sins being paid for, God would dishonor justice. And so
when Boaz, who is Christ, came and presented his loved one and
says, I want to redeem, I want this loved one redeemed, the
law says, I can't do it. I can't do it. And justice says,
I can't do it. And Christ said, I can do it.
I can do it. And so our Lord Jesus Christ
came down into this world and took off, laid aside his glory
and came down and clothed himself in human flesh and obeyed that
law and honored that justice and paid the price. The scripture
says, you're not your own, you're bought with a price, paid for.
And that price is the blood of Christ. And Boaz went down and
bought the inheritance and gave it to Naomi. And he married Ruth.
Look at verse 13 of Ruth 4. So Boaz took Ruth, and she was
his wife. We are the bride of Christ. Our
Lord is the bridegroom. He bought his bride. And when
he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and be she
bear a son. And that son was Obed, who bear
Jesse, who bear David, of whom Christ came. And the women said
to Naomi, listen to what the people said. And the people said,
the women said to Naomi, Bless the Lord which hath not left
thee this day without a Redeemer. Praise God he didn't leave you
without a Redeemer. Praise God he didn't leave you
without a Redeemer that his name may be famous in Israel. I want Martha to go to Oregon.
I was up in Richwood, West Virginia this week. An old gentleman,
80 some odd years old, had been watching our TV program. And
he had fallen in love with what we were trying to preach. And we had become close, close
friends. And he came one night to me and
he said, I want to sing you a song. I can't sing. He couldn't sing
much either, but the words are beautiful. And I want you to
hear Martha. I want you to listen to the words
of this song. Fits what I've been preaching. O love surpassing knowledge,
O grace so full and free, I know that Jesus saved me, and that's
enough for me. O that's enough for me, yes,
that's enough for me. I know that Jesus saved me, and
that's enough for me. O wonderful salvation, from sin
he sets me free. I feel a sweet assurance, and
that's enough for me. Oh, that's enough for me Yes,
that's enough for me I feel a sweet assurance And that's enough for
me Oh, blood of Christ so precious poured out on Calvary. I feel the cleansing power, and
that's enough for me. Oh, that's enough for me. Yes, that's enough for me. I feel his cleansing power, and
that's enough for me." I said, Brother Groves, when he finished
singing that, I said, that's enough for me. That's the gospel. My kinsman Redeemer, with the
right to redeem, has bought back all I lost. And I rest at his
feet. Let's bow in prayer. Our Father, we praise Thy matchless,
wonderful, merciful name for revealing to us the gospel of
Christ our Lord. We're nothing, we know nothing,
by nature we have nothing, but oh in Christ we have all things.
He's enough, He's sufficient. In Him we have wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption. In Christ we're complete, bought
back all that we lost, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Reveal
this to the heart of every person in this building for Thy glory
and their good, for Christ's sake. Amen.
