Redemption


Rahab
saved all of Israel because she believed. 

"...I know that the Lord has given you this land..." 
Joshua 2:9

"By faith the prostitute Rahab..."
Hebrews 11:31

She became the wife of Salmon
and the mother of Boaz.

Boaz,
who rescued Ruth.
Ruth, 
who rescued Naomi.

"Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,
Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth..." 
Matthew 1:5

What other rescuers are in the line of Rahab?

Rahab is in the line of Christ.

Christ who rescued me. And you.

We can't get to the Messiah without redemption. 


"...and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, 
and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah." 
Matthew 1:16

    This posting, the Truths of God's Word, gave me goose bumps!!
    Such a tremendous promise found in God's Word, and it is ONLY through redemption that we can get to Jesus.
    I'm so thankful for my Salvation in Jesus Christ, my Lord.

    God bless you~
