"I will redeem you with an outstretched arm," Exodus 6:6.
So says God to enslaved Israel. God will deliver them from slavery and will take them to be his own people. And they will know that the Lord God is their God. These slaves cannot pay their own ransom. They cannot bring themselves out from under the burden. They cannot deliver themselves. They cannot redeem themselves. But God can. But God will. And God does. Because God loves.
When we visit with a brother or sister today we remember that God also redeemed us when we were helpless. And together we give thanks to God for Christ, our redeemer.
