Our Redeemer Will Come - Commentary

The Bible calls Jesus by many different names.  Each of those names tells something about Him.

The name "Son of God" means that Jesus is more than just a good man.  Jesus is really God.

He is called "Saviour" because He died to save us from having to be punished for not obeying God.

And sometimes He is called our "Redeember."  If a man loses something that belongs to him but wants it so much that he pays to get it back, we say he has redeemed it.

Jesus did that.  When the Lord made people, they were His friends.  But then Adam and Eve decided to do what they wanted instead of what God wanted.

After that, people were not God's friends anymore.  The wrong things they did had to be paid for.  So God sent Jesus to be our Redeember.  He paid with His life to get His people back.  When a person believes what Jesus did for him, God forgives him, and he is redeemed.
