THE MYSTERY OF YOUR PURCHASE

THE MYSTERY
OF YOUR PURCHASE
1 PETER. 1:18-19
18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
Begin reading this message with a picture in your mind. As fallen human beings, we were all labelled up for sale in Satan’s market. Then suddenly a buyer enters the market and it was Jesus Christ of Nazareth! But Satan did not want Christ to buy us. Satan’s plan was that we would be bought by someone else whom is as wicked as him. But Jesus opened His purse and brought out His cash – He paid a very high price to buy us- the price of His precious blood. Unwillingly to release us, to let us go, Satan set up many obstacles and barriers to frustrate Christ from purchasing us. Nevertheless, Christ explained to him that through his painful death on the cross, He has paid the price for us. Satan has no option than to give us up to the new owner! That means concerning your life, Satan has lost the battle forever! He does not own you again and he has lost his dominion over you! Ha may want to delay you but he cannot you your promised land! The blood that redeemed us was an extraordinary kind of blood- the blood of God-man, Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus is a “man” mixed with God. Therefore, when this “man” died on the cross, God also passes through death. Oh, no human brain can explain this mystery adequately. So if Jesus can buy you by His own blood then there is NOTHING He can withhold from you. If He could buy you, then He CANNOT deny you anything good. As 2011 is coming to an end, resist the lie of the devil that God is slow or that He has forgotten you. Resist depression and know that God has a plan your life and His plan for your life alone shall prevail.
