00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made possible by the giving of the God
2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:06.480
called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:08.550
My name is Rick Renner
4
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:10.140
and I'm in the ancient city
5
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.620
of Miletus in the Roman province of Asia.
6
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:17.490
Miletus was an amazing city.
It said right on the harbor.
7
00:00:17.490 --> 00:00:20.700
Ships came, ships went, people came
8
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.110
and they came here to shop.
9
00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.030
And behind me is one
10
00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:25.740
of the markets which was called the Agora.
11
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.270
This city actually had several
markets, several agoras,
12
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.550
but this word agora, is
very important when we think
13
00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:35.580
of the New Testament because
from this word, agora,
14
00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.800
we get the word redemption.
15
00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:41.640
The word, agoridzo, is borrowed from the word agora.
16
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.980
Again, agora is the word marketplace,
17
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:47.640
agoridzo, means to buy something in the market.
18
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.480
Slaves were frequently sold in the market.
19
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:53.040
That was the primary place where you went
20
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:56.040
to sell a slave or to buy a slave.
21
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:59.850
The word agoridzo translated redemption in the New Testament
22
00:00:59.850 --> 00:01:03.000
describes the process
of buying a slave out
23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.400
of the marketplace.
24
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:06.600
And this is the word used
25
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:10.050
to describe Jesus redemption in our life,
26
00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:12.630
which means when Jesus
came into the world,
27
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:14.310
we were the slaves.
28
00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:18.510
We were in Satan's marketplace, being abused, being sold,
29
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:22.020
being traded, lost in a life of sin.
30
00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:23.040
And Jesus saw us
31
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.860
and said, I want that
person, I want that slave,
32
00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:29.130
and I'm willing to pay
the highest price required
33
00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:32.160
to purchase that person out of slavery.
34
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:34.830
And the price was Jesus on blood.
35
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:37.830
Jesus paid the highest price ever paid
36
00:01:37.830 --> 00:01:40.500
to redeem someone from slavery.
37
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:44.220
The slave was you. The
price was Jesus blood.
38
00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:47.428
And Jesus gave his blood, agoridzo,
39
00:01:47.428 --> 00:01:49.569
to buy you out of the agora,
40
00:01:49.569 --> 00:01:53.400
out of the marketplace
where Satan was abusing you.
41
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.850
The word redemption means
Jesus paid the price
42
00:01:56.850 --> 00:02:00.870
to buy you out of Satan's slave market.
43
00:02:00.870 --> 00:02:04.470
That's what I think about
every time I come to this part
44
00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:08.640
of the world and I see an ancient agora, a marketplace,
45
00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:11.850
my mind immediately goes to the word, agoridzo,
46
00:02:11.850 --> 00:02:15.150
and Christ's redemptive work in our life.
47
00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:17.790
And that's what I want to
talk to you about today.
48
00:02:17.790 --> 00:02:21.000
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
49
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.570
and your mind: where the
word is the anchor in
50
00:02:24.570 --> 00:02:26.520
uncertain times.
51
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.820
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
52
00:02:29.820 --> 00:02:31.260
We keep it simple,
53
00:02:31.260 --> 00:02:35.820
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
54
00:02:36.690 --> 00:02:38.580
a love that emboldens,
55
00:02:39.720 --> 00:02:41.880
and a mission that touches the world.
56
00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:45.720
Let's join Rick Renner.
57
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.290
Welcome to today's program. My friend,
58
00:02:49.290 --> 00:02:53.430
today we're gonna return to
the subject of redemption.
59
00:02:53.430 --> 00:02:55.080
In the standup to today's program,
60
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.020
I was standing in the ancient city of Miletus
61
00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:00.640
where there was a very big
market where they bought
62
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.620
and sold slaves.
63
00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:04.900
In fact, they bought and sold
slaves all over the Roman
64
00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.450
world in Miletus and Ephesus
65
00:03:07.450 --> 00:03:10.990
and Antioch, Alexandria, Corinth, in Rome.
66
00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:13.120
This was really something that all
67
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.760
of Paul's readers understood
because the buying
68
00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:19.480
and selling of slaves
took place all the time.
69
00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:21.700
And from that world of slavery,
70
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:24.850
Paul developed the word redemption.
71
00:03:24.850 --> 00:03:26.470
The word redemption.
72
00:03:26.470 --> 00:03:30.070
The Bible tells us in Psalm 107:2,
73
00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:33.100
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
74
00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:36.700
who he has redeemed from
the hand of the enemy.
75
00:03:36.700 --> 00:03:39.130
And we've seen in previous programs that
76
00:03:39.130 --> 00:03:40.180
before the grace of God
77
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.180
and the blood of Jesus touched
us, we were all members
78
00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:45.160
of Satan's slave market.
79
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:47.440
But Jesus came into the slave market,
80
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:51.160
He paid the price of his own blood to redeem us out
81
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:53.710
of the hand of the enemy.
82
00:03:53.710 --> 00:03:56.620
And Psalm 107:2 says, we ought to say so.
83
00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:59.260
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
84
00:03:59.260 --> 00:04:02.680
You should just say, I am
the redeemed of the Lord.
85
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.990
That means Jesus paid the price
86
00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:09.280
to set you free from Satan's
dominion over your life.
87
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.700
And we saw in 1 Corinthians 6:20
88
00:04:12.700 --> 00:04:14.800
that now you've been bought with a price
89
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.860
and we are obligated to
glorify God in our body
90
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:20.260
and in our spirit, which are Gods.
91
00:04:20.260 --> 00:04:21.850
Now, Jesus is our Lord.
92
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:23.050
He's our new owner
93
00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.110
and he wants us to
glorify him with our body
94
00:04:26.110 --> 00:04:28.570
and with our life, we've been redeemed
95
00:04:28.570 --> 00:04:32.620
and now we have a new
master whose name is Jesus.
96
00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:33.910
Amen.
97
00:04:33.910 --> 00:04:36.520
Hey, I'm speaking to you
for my brand new series,
98
00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:40.360
which is called, Resting in Our Redemption.
99
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.990
Do you understand what
it means to be redeemed?
100
00:04:43.990 --> 00:04:45.130
You know, I grew up in a church
101
00:04:45.130 --> 00:04:48.190
where we sang a wonderful
song, redeemed How I love
102
00:04:48.190 --> 00:04:53.190
to proclaim it, redeemed
by the blood of the Lamb,
103
00:04:53.380 --> 00:04:57.220
redeemed by his infinite mercy, his child,
104
00:04:57.220 --> 00:04:58.630
and forever I am.
105
00:04:58.630 --> 00:05:00.460
And oh, I love to sing that song.
106
00:05:00.460 --> 00:05:02.290
I sang it with all my might
107
00:05:02.290 --> 00:05:06.730
and didn't have a clue what it
really meant to be redeemed.
108
00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.300
Being redeemed is so much
bigger than I ever understood.
109
00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:14.200
We need to know what it
means to be redeemed.
110
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:16.150
Please order this. It
will change your life.
111
00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:18.490
And it comes with a
study guide that's filled
112
00:05:18.490 --> 00:05:22.030
with all the Greek words,
all the history, the points,
113
00:05:22.030 --> 00:05:24.100
all the principles in this teaching.
114
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:25.930
And by reading and listening
115
00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:29.290
or seeing, you can really get
this teaching deep inside you
116
00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:32.920
and it would be a great series
to share with somebody else.
117
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.380
We're also offering you right now my book,
118
00:05:35.380 --> 00:05:37.510
which is called, Dressed to Kill.
119
00:05:37.510 --> 00:05:40.060
The full title is - You Don't
Have to Take It anymore
120
00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:42.310
because you are Dressed to Kill.
121
00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:44.710
And the reason we're
offering this book right now
122
00:05:44.710 --> 00:05:46.000
with this series is
123
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.570
because there's a whole chapter
in this book called Resting
124
00:05:49.570 --> 00:05:51.940
in our Redemption.
125
00:05:51.940 --> 00:05:54.310
And today I'm gonna read you
just a little bit from it,
126
00:05:54.310 --> 00:05:58.126
but we need to understand what is in our redemption:
127
00:05:58.126 --> 00:05:59.151
what Jesus did
128
00:05:59.151 --> 00:06:00.470
for us.
129
00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:02.120
So reach for your Bible.
130
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.760
And today we're gonna
turn to the New Testament
131
00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:07.220
and we're going to see the word redemption -
132
00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:12.152
Hmm - as is used in Galatians 3:13.
133
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.520
Now, in the previous program we saw the Greek word, agoridzo
134
00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:18.230
which means to purchase.
135
00:06:18.230 --> 00:06:21.350
Today we're gonna see the next Greek word, exagoridzo.
136
00:06:21.350 --> 00:06:23.570
But listen to this. Today we're gonna see
137
00:06:23.570 --> 00:06:26.750
that Jesus purchased us out of slavery.
138
00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:30.140
And that's very important because a slave could be purchased
139
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:32.240
and then later could be
put on the auction block
140
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.860
to be sold again.
141
00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:37.040
But when Jesus did his work
of redemption in our life,
142
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.940
we were never to be put on
the auction block ever again.
143
00:06:40.940 --> 00:06:43.160
He permanently liberated us.
144
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.940
He purchased us out of slavery forever.
145
00:06:46.940 --> 00:06:48.740
And that's what the Bible tells us.
146
00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.430
Listen to this in Galatians 3:13,
147
00:06:52.430 --> 00:06:56.660
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse
148
00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:58.250
of the law.
149
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:02.150
That word redeemed is the word exagoridzo.
150
00:07:02.150 --> 00:07:04.400
Now, yesterday we saw the word, agoridzo,
151
00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:06.890
but this is the word - exagoridzo.
152
00:07:06.890 --> 00:07:09.080
It is a compound of the word, ex,
153
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:13.100
and the word agoridzo. The word, ek, means out.
154
00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:17.450
And the word, agoridzo means to purchase in the marketplace.
155
00:07:17.450 --> 00:07:20.450
It was used to denote the
purchase of a slave out
156
00:07:20.450 --> 00:07:22.370
of the slave market
157
00:07:22.370 --> 00:07:25.430
to transform ownership
from a seller to a buyer.
158
00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:27.830
It can be translated to redeem,
159
00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:30.050
but when compounded together with the word ex,
160
00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:33.830
it forms the word exagoridzo, which pictures one
161
00:07:33.830 --> 00:07:38.060
who has come into the market
to purchase a slave out
162
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.310
of the marketplace, never
163
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:42.920
to be put on the auction block again.
164
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.630
This is permanent removal.
This is permanent deliverance.
165
00:07:47.630 --> 00:07:50.900
It signifies the purchase of a slave
166
00:07:50.900 --> 00:07:54.410
to permanently set that slave free from
167
00:07:54.410 --> 00:07:58.040
that horrible place never to
be put on the trading block
168
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.380
of slavery ever again.
169
00:08:00.380 --> 00:08:04.400
It pictures a slave that
has been liberated out of
170
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:09.365
that cursed slave market forever. That's the word,
171
00:08:09.365 --> 00:08:13.700
exagoridzo, which here is translated - redeemed.
172
00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:16.070
Now I want to read to you from several
173
00:08:16.070 --> 00:08:19.040
pages in Dress to Kill.
174
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.980
This is amazing. I want
you to really get this.
175
00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:24.305
Listen to this.
176
00:08:24.305 --> 00:08:26.938
The word - ex - is a preposition that means out.
177
00:08:26.938 --> 00:08:28.400
And as we've already discussed,
178
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:31.640
the word, agoridzo, describes a slave market.
179
00:08:31.640 --> 00:08:34.250
When these are combined, they form the word exagoridzo,
180
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:36.530
which pictures one who has come
181
00:08:36.530 --> 00:08:41.330
to purchase a slave permanently out of the slave market.
182
00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:45.860
Exagoridzo, conveys the idea of removal.
183
00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:48.530
It signifies the purchase of a slave in order
184
00:08:48.530 --> 00:08:52.580
to permanently set that slave free from
185
00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:56.010
that place never to be
put on the auction again.
186
00:08:56.010 --> 00:08:59.100
The word, exagoridzo, pictures a slave
187
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:03.150
who has been liberated from
that stinking, nauseating,
188
00:09:03.150 --> 00:09:07.950
disgusting, depraved,
cursed market for ever
189
00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:09.180
and ever and ever, never to be
190
00:09:09.180 --> 00:09:13.770
put there again. This word, exagoridzo, is used in Paul's
191
00:09:13.770 --> 00:09:18.690
epistles multiple times to
picture Jesus redemptive work
192
00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.770
to remove us from spiritual slavery.
193
00:09:22.770 --> 00:09:25.530
And an example is Galatians 3:13,
194
00:09:25.530 --> 00:09:30.210
where the Bible says Christ
has redeemed us from the curse
195
00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:31.320
of the law.
196
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.810
That word redeemed the Greek word, exagoridzo.
197
00:09:33.810 --> 00:09:36.690
And by using the word exagoridzo in connection
198
00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:39.960
with Jesus redeeming us
from the curse of the law,
199
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.250
Paul tells us
200
00:09:41.250 --> 00:09:44.700
that Jesus sacrificial death
not only paid the penalty
201
00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:49.320
for our sin, but his death
removed us permanently from
202
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.200
living under the curse of
the law from henceforth
203
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.700
and forevermore.
204
00:09:53.700 --> 00:09:55.260
That is amazing.
205
00:09:55.260 --> 00:09:58.800
This is what we must
understand about God's plan
206
00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:00.330
of redemption.
207
00:10:00.330 --> 00:10:03.840
His purpose in sending
his son was not just
208
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.180
to inspect our condition of slavery
209
00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:08.280
and to locate us in our mess;
210
00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:12.270
his ultimate plan, which he accomplished in Jesus death
211
00:10:12.270 --> 00:10:14.940
and resurrection was to buy us out of
212
00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:19.050
that miserable condition
to make us his own sons
213
00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:22.830
and daughters forever removed
from living under the curse
214
00:10:22.830 --> 00:10:25.290
of the law and of sin.
215
00:10:25.290 --> 00:10:29.040
But slaves did not come cheaply.
216
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:31.050
If the auctioneer knew
217
00:10:31.050 --> 00:10:34.050
that a buyer really
wanted a particular slave,
218
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:37.380
he could demand unbelievably high prices.
219
00:10:37.380 --> 00:10:41.130
So we have to ask, what
price did Jesus pay
220
00:10:41.130 --> 00:10:46.130
for our redemption from
Satan's power over our lives?
221
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.310
What price was required to purchase us
222
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:52.770
and to permanently set us free?
223
00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:54.900
Well, that's a very important question,
224
00:10:54.900 --> 00:10:57.510
but now we know the price was not cheap.
225
00:10:57.510 --> 00:11:00.630
Jesus paid a very high price
226
00:11:00.630 --> 00:11:02.970
for our permanent freedom.
227
00:11:02.970 --> 00:11:05.340
Say amen. That's why the
Bible says, let the redeemed
228
00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:07.410
of the Lord say so.
229
00:11:07.410 --> 00:11:10.530
But I want you to listen
to what I have written on
230
00:11:10.530 --> 00:11:14.970
February 2nd, which is called
the highest price ever paid
231
00:11:14.970 --> 00:11:18.450
to set a slave free - the highest price.
232
00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:22.560
In New Testament times
slaves could be very costly.
233
00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:25.560
When a slave purchaser came
to the slave market to look
234
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:28.560
for a new slave, he would
meander through the aisles
235
00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:31.650
of the marketplace, his
eyes roaming here and there
236
00:11:31.650 --> 00:11:34.950
and all over the place for
slaves on sale as he searched
237
00:11:34.950 --> 00:11:36.960
for the one that he wanted.
238
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.220
After pinpointing the slave
who seemed to fit his needs,
239
00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:42.630
the purchaser was then allowed
240
00:11:42.630 --> 00:11:44.460
to inspect the slave's condition.
241
00:11:45.870 --> 00:11:48.090
The purpose of this
inspection was similar to that
242
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:51.060
of a test drive When a
person's checking out a car
243
00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:53.920
before he purchases it. Just as every buyer wants
244
00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:55.600
to be sure he is getting a good product,
245
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:59.380
every slave buyer wanted to check out the merchandise
246
00:11:59.380 --> 00:12:01.960
before he put the money on the table.
247
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:06.460
The inspection usually included physically beating the slave
248
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:08.890
to see how well he responded to abuse.
249
00:12:08.890 --> 00:12:10.930
So the purchaser would know how much wear
250
00:12:10.930 --> 00:12:13.090
and tear the slave could take on the job.
251
00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:16.600
The buyer was also allowed to
pull open the slave's mouth
252
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:19.060
and look at his teeth to
see if they were rotten
253
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.890
or in good shape as he tried
254
00:12:20.890 --> 00:12:23.470
to establish the slave's physical health
255
00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:27.010
before making an office
offer to purchase him.
256
00:12:27.010 --> 00:12:29.725
If the buyer decided to
proceed with the purchase
257
00:12:29.725 --> 00:12:33.040
after the inspection was
complete, it was then time
258
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:35.740
for the next stage of the process.
259
00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:39.910
That moment when the slave
was put on the auction block,
260
00:12:39.910 --> 00:12:41.080
when the auctioneer knew
261
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.710
that a buyer really had his eye on a specific slave,
262
00:12:44.710 --> 00:12:48.130
he could take that as a
signal to push the price for
263
00:12:48.130 --> 00:12:51.340
that slave as high as possible.
264
00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:52.810
And if the buyer continued
265
00:12:52.810 --> 00:12:55.300
to show interest in the same slave
266
00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:58.240
that would let the auctioneer
know he could demand a
267
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.240
completely unreasonable price
268
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.700
and probably he would get it.
269
00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:08.700
Wow. All of these images
are contained in the word
270
00:13:09.130 --> 00:13:13.780
redemption, but at times a caring
271
00:13:13.780 --> 00:13:17.080
and compassionate individual
would come to the slave market
272
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.420
for the sole purpose -
273
00:13:19.420 --> 00:13:20.800
are you listening to this -
274
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:25.480
for the sole purpose of
purchasing slaves out
275
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.970
of slavery, to liberate
276
00:13:27.970 --> 00:13:31.930
and set them free forever to never be sold
277
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:34.150
or to be put on the
auction block ever again.
278
00:13:34.150 --> 00:13:36.610
This was permanent freedom.
279
00:13:36.610 --> 00:13:39.490
In this case, the payment
offered was viewed
280
00:13:39.490 --> 00:13:43.210
as a ransom paid to obtain freedom
281
00:13:43.210 --> 00:13:44.770
for slaves.
282
00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:47.320
Well, if you understand all
of this, here's what it means:
283
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.280
No.1, Jesus came into the world,
284
00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.290
which was Satan's slave market
285
00:13:53.290 --> 00:13:58.060
because he was looking for
you and he was looking for me.
286
00:13:58.060 --> 00:14:01.330
Jesus was looking for us.
287
00:14:01.330 --> 00:14:05.050
No.2: Jesus knew he wanted us
288
00:14:05.050 --> 00:14:10.050
and wouldn't be satisfied until the purchase was complete.
289
00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:13.840
No.3: Jesus wanted us so much that he was willing
290
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.240
to pay any price demanded
291
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.690
to purchase us from the slave market
292
00:14:19.690 --> 00:14:23.710
and No.4: Jesus paid the price with his blood,
293
00:14:23.710 --> 00:14:27.310
the highest price ever paid for a slave
294
00:14:27.310 --> 00:14:29.170
and purchased us for himself
295
00:14:29.170 --> 00:14:33.490
and gave us a liberating
freedom that can only be known
296
00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:36.010
because of his work in our lives.
297
00:14:36.010 --> 00:14:37.210
And this tells us
298
00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:40.390
that our freedom from
Satan's ownership was
299
00:14:40.390 --> 00:14:42.880
extremely expensive.
300
00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:44.680
The price Jesus paid
301
00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:49.510
for us was the highest
price ever paid for a slave.
302
00:14:49.510 --> 00:14:50.560
What was the ransom
303
00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:52.910
Jesus paid to procure our freedom -
304
00:14:52.910 --> 00:14:56.210
his own blood.
305
00:14:56.210 --> 00:14:58.940
It was the shedding of Jesus' own blood
306
00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:00.680
that guaranteed our deliverance
307
00:15:00.680 --> 00:15:04.040
and lasting freedom from demonic powers
308
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:06.470
that previously held us captive.
309
00:15:06.470 --> 00:15:10.880
Jesus gave him himself as the ransom to set you
310
00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:13.070
and me free from sin.
311
00:15:13.070 --> 00:15:17.330
Someone, someone had to enter Satan's slave market
312
00:15:17.330 --> 00:15:22.100
and Jesus chose to be the one.
Someone had to offer a price
313
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:25.160
and Jesus offered to pay the price for your freedom
314
00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:28.670
and mine with his own blood: someone had
315
00:15:28.670 --> 00:15:30.500
to finalize the deal.
316
00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:33.230
So Jesus willingly paid the price
317
00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:37.460
with his own life on the cross.
318
00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:41.420
That is amazing that
Jesus did that for you
319
00:15:41.420 --> 00:15:42.920
and for me.
320
00:15:42.920 --> 00:15:45.650
He was the slave purchaser.
321
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:50.750
And when Jesus came into the
world 2000 years ago, he came
322
00:15:50.750 --> 00:15:54.410
to inspect the slavery of the human race.
323
00:15:54.410 --> 00:15:56.150
And he didn't just leave us in our mess,
324
00:15:56.150 --> 00:15:58.640
but he came into the market to buy us.
325
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:00.890
That's the word, agoradzo, which we saw yesterday.
326
00:16:00.890 --> 00:16:02.780
And not just to buy us,
327
00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:05.090
but to set us free permanently: to buy us out
328
00:16:05.090 --> 00:16:06.830
of slavery forever.
329
00:16:06.830 --> 00:16:09.380
You see, many people bought
a slave, which they used
330
00:16:09.380 --> 00:16:12.020
for a while, and then they
put them back on the trading
331
00:16:12.020 --> 00:16:15.380
block, the auction block to sell them again: not with Jesus.
332
00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:17.180
When he bought us, he bought us
333
00:16:17.180 --> 00:16:19.760
and delivered us from that nest forever.
334
00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:22.435
He set us free permanently
335
00:16:22.435 --> 00:16:25.626
and that is what the word, exagoridzo, means.
336
00:16:25.626 --> 00:16:27.043
Listen to this again.
337
00:16:27.043 --> 00:16:28.850
It is a compound of the word, ek,
338
00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:31.880 line:15%
which means - out. The word agoradzo, which means
339
00:16:31.880 --> 00:16:34.340
to purchase in the marketplace.
340
00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:37.970
It denoted the purchase of a
slave out of the slave market
341
00:16:37.970 --> 00:16:40.910
to transfer ownership
from a seller to a buyer.
342
00:16:40.910 --> 00:16:43.100
It means to redeem someone,
343
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:47.150
to redeem something: when compounded it forms the word ex
344
00:16:47.150 --> 00:16:50.210
azo, which pictures, one who's come
345
00:16:50.210 --> 00:16:54.320
to purchase a slave
out of the slave market
346
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:59.090
to remove them from that mess
forever, never to be returned
347
00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:01.340
to there ever again.
348
00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:05.030
That is just amazing. My friend,
349
00:17:05.030 --> 00:17:09.440
you were expensive. I was very expensive.
350
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:13.850
We were Satan's slaves.
You have to understand it.
351
00:17:13.850 --> 00:17:15.050
In fact, when you really study
352
00:17:15.050 --> 00:17:17.480
what the apostle Paul continues to write,
353
00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:20.060
in Ephesians 2:1-4,
354
00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:23.150
of my friends, we were sold under sin;
355
00:17:23.150 --> 00:17:25.280
e were energized by the devil himself.
356
00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:28.550
He controlled our mind. He
controlled our emotions.
357
00:17:28.550 --> 00:17:30.920
He slapped us around, knocked us around,
358
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.410
perpetually traded us from one form
359
00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:36.020
of slavery into another form of slavery.
360
00:17:36.020 --> 00:17:40.190
He abused us, scarred our self
images, marred our emotions.
361
00:17:40.190 --> 00:17:43.760
He did everything he could to
take us down and destroy us.
362
00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:47.360
One reason being because we're made in the image of God
363
00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:52.020
and he despises the image of God. sold into slavery,
364
00:17:52.020 --> 00:17:53.940
sold under sin.
365
00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.340
The Bible tells us we were the servants
366
00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:59.670
of sin swallowed up in the will of sin.
367
00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:01.380
Sin was our master.
368
00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:05.310
We were the slave of Satan,
that diabolical spirit
369
00:18:05.310 --> 00:18:08.220
that wanted to take us down, destroy us,
370
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:10.710
and then send us to hell.
371
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:16.050
But Jesus said, Nope, I'm
gonna do something about this.
372
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:20.790
And when Jesus came into
the world 2000 years ago,
373
00:18:20.790 --> 00:18:24.240
he came as a slave purchaser.
374
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:28.590
He meandered through society,
he meandered through humanity.
375
00:18:28.590 --> 00:18:30.780
He looked at us in air condition
376
00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:33.210
and he said, I want all of them.
377
00:18:33.210 --> 00:18:38.210
What price do I have to pay
to secure their freedom?
378
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:43.050
And the Bible tells us He
paid with his own blood.
379
00:18:43.050 --> 00:18:45.690
He paid with his own blood.
380
00:18:45.690 --> 00:18:49.800
That is why we're told in 1 Corinthians 6:
381
00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:54.210
20, You were bought with a price. My friends,
382
00:18:54.210 --> 00:18:55.920
you were purchased.
383
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.410
You were purchased with a price.
384
00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:01.890
That word, price, in 1 Corinthians 6:20,
385
00:19:01.890 --> 00:19:04.590
describes something extremely expensive.
386
00:19:04.590 --> 00:19:09.270
It was the highest price
ever paid for a slave.
387
00:19:09.270 --> 00:19:11.820
That's the price that was paid for you.
388
00:19:11.820 --> 00:19:14.760
It was the blood of Jesus, that was the price.
389
00:19:14.760 --> 00:19:18.240
And that is why 1 Corinthians 6:20 goes on to say,
390
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.200
Therefore glorify God in your body
391
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.180
and your spirit, which are God's. Now
392
00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:28.710
you are his. You are his.
You're the child of God.
393
00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:30.450
You're the servant of God.
394
00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:34.230
You've been translated out
of the dominion of darkness.
395
00:19:34.230 --> 00:19:37.590
Darkness is not your place
of dwelling any longer.
396
00:19:37.590 --> 00:19:39.300
You were delivered from that mess
397
00:19:39.300 --> 00:19:44.010
and translated into the kingdom of God's dear son; a place
398
00:19:44.010 --> 00:19:48.390
that is dominated by the goodness of God, the light of God,
399
00:19:48.390 --> 00:19:50.280
the glory of God, and darkness
400
00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:52.830
and the effects of darkness are not to be a part
401
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:55.950
of your life any longer,
which is why you are
402
00:19:55.950 --> 00:19:59.400
to have healing in your body
that belongs in the kingdom
403
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.990
of God's dear son.
404
00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:03.240
It's why you're to be
blessed in your finances.
405
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.480
Prosperity belongs to the
kingdom of God's dear son.
406
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.970
You're to have peace in your
mind and peace in your soul
407
00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:12.660
because peace is a part of
the kingdom of God's dear son.
408
00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:14.700
And you were translated out of darkness.
409
00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:18.510
Darkness is where sickness
was. That's where strife was.
410
00:20:18.510 --> 00:20:21.720
That's where torment was.
You were delivered from that.
411
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:23.520
In fact, in Colossians 1:13,
412
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:25.950
the word delivered, the Greek word, rhuomai:
413
00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:29.580
snatched out of it by the merciful act of God
414
00:20:29.580 --> 00:20:34.080
and translated into an entirely brand new place into the
415
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:38.490
kingdom of God's dear son,
where you are supposed
416
00:20:38.490 --> 00:20:42.780
to experience all the
wonderful glorious benefits
417
00:20:42.780 --> 00:20:46.260
of your redemption.
418
00:20:46.260 --> 00:20:48.760
If you're redeemed, you are free.
419
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:51.670
You're not supposed to
be sick again, you're not
420
00:20:51.670 --> 00:20:53.590
to ever be cursed again.
421
00:20:53.590 --> 00:20:55.630
You're not to be tormented ever again.
422
00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:58.000
That is not God's will for your life.
423
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.590
God's will for you is
424
00:20:59.590 --> 00:21:02.950
that you experienced
freedom from all of that.
425
00:21:02.950 --> 00:21:06.910
All of that is what you had
in Satan's slave market.
426
00:21:06.910 --> 00:21:10.570
But my friends, Jesus himself
snatched you out of it
427
00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:13.750
by paying the price with
his own blood on the cross.
428
00:21:13.750 --> 00:21:17.290
And he puts you in a
brand new kingdom filled
429
00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:19.630
with the goodness of God
430
00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:22.210
and the blessings of your redemption.
431
00:21:22.210 --> 00:21:25.030
All of that belongs to you.
432
00:21:25.030 --> 00:21:28.660
But hey, yesterday we saw the word, agoradzo,
433
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:30.550
which means to purchase.
434
00:21:30.550 --> 00:21:32.740
That's one word for redemption.
435
00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:35.890
Today we saw the word, exagoridzo, translated redeem
436
00:21:35.890 --> 00:21:39.910
or to purchase: to purchase out of slavery, never
437
00:21:39.910 --> 00:21:43.120
to be put on the trading block ever again.
438
00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:45.160
You're never to be auctioned ever again.
439
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.120
Jesus bought you, he set you free from
440
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:50.830
that mess.
441
00:21:50.830 --> 00:21:53.860
That's what this word, exagoridzo, means.
442
00:21:53.860 --> 00:21:58.450
But hey, there's two more
words translated redemption in
443
00:21:58.450 --> 00:21:59.650
the New Testament.
444
00:21:59.650 --> 00:22:00.940
And tomorrow we're going to see the
445
00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:02.050
next one, the word lutroo.
446
00:22:02.050 --> 00:22:03.790
And on Friday we're gonna look at the word,
447
00:22:03.790 --> 00:22:06.490
apolutrosis; you're gonna wanna shout when you hear
448
00:22:06.490 --> 00:22:10.780
what these words mean. But hey - remember Psalm 107:2
449
00:22:10.780 --> 00:22:15.730
says, let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
450
00:22:15.730 --> 00:22:19.150
Say so, say I'm the redeemed of the Lord.
451
00:22:19.150 --> 00:22:20.380
Jesus delivered me
452
00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:24.190
and permanently set me free - never -
453
00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:26.650
to be a slave ever again.
454
00:22:26.650 --> 00:22:31.570
He's redeemed you from
the hand of the enemy.
455
00:22:31.570 --> 00:22:36.160
That is what redemption is all about.
456
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:38.950
I'll be back in just a moment
and I want to pray for you.
457
00:22:47.350 --> 00:22:48.760
Somebody asked the question,
458
00:22:48.760 --> 00:22:52.120
what is the oldest book
in the New Testament?
459
00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:54.550
Well, it's not the gospel of Matthew.
460
00:22:54.550 --> 00:22:57.010
That book came along quite a lot later.
461
00:22:57.010 --> 00:23:00.970
The oldest book in the New Testament is - are you ready
462
00:23:00.970 --> 00:23:02.380
the book of James;
463
00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:04.240
and the book of James was written
464
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.610
by the half brother of Jesus.
465
00:23:06.610 --> 00:23:07.810
And it was James
466
00:23:07.810 --> 00:23:11.590
who in literature first
called Jesus the Lord
467
00:23:11.590 --> 00:23:13.210
Jesus Christ.
468
00:23:13.210 --> 00:23:16.390
The word Lord is the same
word used in the Old Testament
469
00:23:16.390 --> 00:23:19.000
Septuagint to describe Jehovah.
470
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:21.850
The word Jesus describes
Jesus in his humanity.
471
00:23:21.850 --> 00:23:24.340
The word Christ from the Greek word, Christos
472
00:23:24.340 --> 00:23:26.110
describes the Messiah.
473
00:23:26.110 --> 00:23:27.460
And when James wrote
474
00:23:27.460 --> 00:23:29.500
that his brother was
the Lord Jesus Christ,
475
00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:31.510
in the oldest book of the New Testament,
476
00:23:31.510 --> 00:23:34.750
he was literally describing
that his brother is Jehovah,
477
00:23:34.750 --> 00:23:37.300
he is Jesus, he is the Messiah.
478
00:23:37.300 --> 00:23:41.170
All of it in one person,
in the person of Jesus.
479
00:23:41.170 --> 00:23:43.420
And that appears in the book of James,
480
00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:46.670
which is the oldest book
of the New Testament.
481
00:23:46.670 --> 00:23:50.780
The Bible says, let the
redeemed of the Lord say so.
482
00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:52.100
But do you really know what it means
483
00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:55.070
to be redeemed in the
in-depth five part series?
484
00:23:55.070 --> 00:23:56.690
Resting in Our Redemption,
485
00:23:56.690 --> 00:23:58.910
Rick Renner unlocks the historical meanings
486
00:23:58.910 --> 00:24:00.500
behind the word redemption
487
00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:02.450
as it is used in the New Testament.
488
00:24:02.450 --> 00:24:05.690
You'll learn that your redemption is powerful, so powerful
489
00:24:05.690 --> 00:24:07.640
that you'll realize you really need to know
490
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.710

even if you're redeemed: How Jesus took you out
494
00:24:18.410 --> 00:24:20.510
of Satan's slave market:
495
00:24:20.510 --> 00:24:22.760
How Jesus permanently purchased you out
496
00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:27.760
of spiritual slavery: What price Jesus paid to liberate you:
497
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.240

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.860

My friends Jesus set you free
525
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:45.140
and his blood was the price he paid
526
00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:47.390
to procure your freedom.
527
00:25:47.390 --> 00:25:51.320
And you need to know everything
that's in your redemption.
528
00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:54.740
And this series comes with
a wonderful study guide.
529
00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:56.870
We're also offering you right now my book
530
00:25:56.870 --> 00:25:58.250
called Dress to Kill.
531
00:25:58.250 --> 00:26:01.940
And in this book there's a whole chapter called Resting in
532
00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.650
our Redemption, where I go
533
00:26:03.650 --> 00:26:06.620
through all these Greek words
about the word redemption
534
00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:09.350
and what all these words
mean for you and for me.
535
00:26:09.350 --> 00:26:11.570
You need to get it down inside you
536
00:26:11.570 --> 00:26:15.140
because Jesus paid the
highest price to set you free.
537
00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:18.500
You need to know what it means
and you need to walk in it.
538
00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:20.300
Amen. And I want to remind you
539
00:26:20.300 --> 00:26:22.610
that when you become a
partner with our ministry,
540
00:26:22.610 --> 00:26:26.495
immediately we will send you
a package of books as our way
541
00:26:26.495 --> 00:26:28.640
of saying welcome to our partner family.
542
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.760
A partner is someone who
regularly gives financially
543
00:26:31.760 --> 00:26:34.370
to our ministry, to help
us take this teaching
544
00:26:34.370 --> 00:26:37.490
to other people all over the world.
545
00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:39.350
And without ever leaving your space
546
00:26:39.350 --> 00:26:42.200
or even getting out of your
chair, you can go online
547
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.100
or give us a call, become a partner,
548
00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:46.830
and change somebody else's life.
549
00:26:46.830 --> 00:26:49.230
It's so easy to change another life.
550
00:26:49.230 --> 00:26:51.390
Just go online or give us a call.
551
00:26:51.390 --> 00:26:52.650
When you become a partner,
552
00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:55.800
you really will reach
into someone else's world
553
00:26:55.800 --> 00:26:57.960
to bring a difference to them.
554
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.470
But Father, I thank you in the
name of Jesus for the blood
555
00:27:01.470 --> 00:27:02.730
that you shed for me
556
00:27:02.730 --> 00:27:06.330
and for my friend: the
highest price ever paid
557
00:27:06.330 --> 00:27:09.990
to set somebody free
and you did it for us.
558
00:27:09.990 --> 00:27:14.990
And Lord, we say thank
you in Jesus' name. Amen.
559
00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:16.650
I'll see you tomorrow.
560
00:27:16.650 --> 00:27:20.340
But please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
561
00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:23.910
of a king is there is power."
562
00:27:23.910 --> 00:27:26.190
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
563
00:27:26.190 --> 00:27:29.880
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
564
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:31.530
Jesus has to give you.
565
00:27:31.530 --> 00:27:34.320
Pray this prayer with me right now, Lord,
566
00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:37.680
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
567
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:42.270
and Lord. Wash away my sin and make me completely new.
568
00:27:42.270 --> 00:27:45.450
I thank you that my sin is removed
569
00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:50.280
and Satan no longer has any right to lay claim on me.
570
00:27:50.280 --> 00:27:53.580
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
571
00:27:53.580 --> 00:27:55.845
for the rest of my life. Amen.
572
00:27:56.765 --> 00:27:58.860
