Week of April 10th - April 16th Lecture "The Kinsman Redeemer"

[Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

Hi Everyone,

The lecture for this week, April 10^th – April 16^th, is entitled, “The Kinsman Redeemer.”

Synopsis:

Jesus is our “Kinsman Redeemer.” God had the plan for our redemption before the foundation of the world. Satan did not catch God off guard; God was still in control when Adam disobeyed Him – I say Adam because he was the one God gave the commandment too and he stood by while Eve ate the fruit and he was a partaker of the fruit. But, God had a plan!

 

Paul wrote that even before man sinned, God's plan had been set in motion to bring all things in the heavens and on the earth back under His authority. God's administration of this plan, however, would remain a mystery until He was ready to expose it. At that time, God would make His statement through the Church, in the presence of the angels, good and bad, and Satan. God's revelation would show that Satan never did blindside Him. It would show that He was never out of control.

 

Before the foundation of the world, God knew that Adam and Eve would disobey Him, bringing sin to all mankind. So before He created the world, God had a plan of redemption. He had developed the administration of justice through our salvation. At the right time, Jesus would leave heaven, take on the body of a man, and become the Son of Man, sacrificing Himself on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus would be our Kinsman Redeemer.

 

Jesus now has given us His power to free us from Satan's dominion. During this lifetime, we will fight many battles with Satan, but Christ guaranteed that we would win the war. I Corinthians 15:24 says, "Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."
