Rescued


Colossians 1:13-14

For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

What an image of going from the Kingdom of evil, darkness, satan to the Kingdom of Christ filled with light and love!  Yes, LORD!

The Greek term for delivered means to "draw to oneself" or "rescue" we are spiritually liberated by God from Satan's clutches!  In verse 14, it goes on to tell us that Christ literally delivered payment for each of us.  In Greek that is what it means Christ paid for me and for you.  Christ paid the price freeing of from our slavery to to sin without Him we are filled with sin with Him we proceed to be more and more and more like Him!

The chains are broken!  We are freed because of God's love for each of us!  During the Christmas season, always remember why Christ was sent to be born in a manager it was for each one of us to be freed!

Sweet blessings,
Debbie
