Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 22.

The price: the blood of Christ. Refers to the entire act of salvation.

We noted in Act 20:28 that God purchased the church with His own blood.

Next, we moved to 1Jo where the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin.

It is important to see the reason why an epistle is written if we can, and in John's case we can. John states that he is writing to them in order to expose the opponents as false teachers and antichrists. He also...

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 21.

The redemption of Israel from Egypt was wrought by God, through a person (Moses), by blood (doorposts; Exo 12:13), and through supernatural power.

God used the ten plagues as His power.

In the NT redemption is wrought by God, through the person of Christ, by means of His blood, and the power is God the Holy Spirit revealing the gospel to the world and baptising all who believe.

Just as Pharaoh had no power over the plagues, though he tried to duplicate them with his magicians, so the...

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 20.

The great redemptive act of the Old Testament occurs when God redeems Israel from Egypt. He was qualified, willing, and able.

Freeing His people Israel from their taskmasters and affliction is a type of the redemption through the cross of Christ.

Exo 3:1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

Exo 3:2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed....

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 18.

One of the most vital revelations concerning Christ was that He was Himself willing to redeem.

If a father forced his son to die for a cause, we would call it immoral and atrocious, but when the son is willing, it becomes a sacrifice. In this case, the sacrifice of the Son, willingly, is the most beautiful act in the history of the world by far.

Joh 10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

Joh 10:8...

Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 17.

We complete our work in Heb 7 tonight.

Heb 7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

Heb 7:2 to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither...

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 16.

The writer of Hebrews in chapter 7 indicates that Melchizedek was greater than Abraham and therefore greater than the Levitical priesthood. Since he is a type of Christ, and that Psa 110 prophesies that the Messiah's priesthood is in his order, then Jesus is the High Priest, higher than the Levitical priesthood. The greatness continues. The Levites made no one perfect, the Law made no one perfect and so, both of them had to go. However, Christ, who is perfect, spotless, blameless, God, and a willing sacrifice, did make men positionally perfect and therefore acceptable to God. All who believe in Christ are entered into union with Him.

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 15.

Psa 110:1 A Psalm of David.

The Lord says to my Lord:

"Sit at My right hand,

Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet."

Psa 110:2 The Lord will stretch forth Thy strong scepter from Zion, saying,

"Rule in the midst of Thine enemies."

Psa 110:3 Thy people will volunteer freely in the day of Thy power; In holy array, from the womb of the dawn [first light],

Thy youth are to Thee as the dew [numerous and beautifully clothed priests].

Psa 110:4 The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind,

"Thou art a priest...

The Law made nothing complete. Daily sacrifices reminded of sin and did not clean the conscience. Jesus' sacrifice removes sin and cleanses fully.

The Levitical priesthood and the Law made nothing complete. Sacrifices and ceremonial cleansing was repeated day after day. There was always a reminder of sin and nothing of the clean conscience that a believer can have in this age, Heb 9:14.

Heb 9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

Heb 9:12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption....

Title: Ruth 4:14-15. Kinsman Redeemer, part 13.

God had been meeting you your whole life. When you came to believe in Christ as your Savior, you met God like you've never met Him before - as Redeemer.

As we have been noting in this study, the remnant in every generation in Israel, the redeemed, looked forward to their completeness in another life.
