Redemption

Redemption begins with the Exodus — God purchasing a slave nation out of Egypt with mighty acts and the blood of a lamb. The kinsman-redeemer figure in Ruth shows redemption operating at the family level: one who has the right, the resources, and the willingness to buy back what was lost. Isaiah's Servant Songs promise a redeemer who will pay with his own suffering. Paul proclaims that in Christ we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins. Revelation closes the arc with the redeemed from every nation standing before the throne.
