Redeemed

Redeemed From Evil - Tim McConnell

Apr. 10

As Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, He must have marveled to think of the kings and generals who had ridden into their cities, or that very city of Jerusalem, as conquering heroes in parade. I wonder if He remembered what He had taught the disciples in Mark 10. Jesus wasn’t riding in to claim glory by power; He was riding in to sacrifice His life and pay a price. But once that price was paid, He could promise all His followers freedom from the terrorizing powers and horrors of this life. Even when they are “considered as sheep to be slaughtered” (verse 36) by this world of terrorizing power and violence, they will nevertheless be conquerors. Jesus became the sheep to be slaughtered once for all so that we could be forever kept in the love of God. When I try to overcome the evil in the world, I only make it worse. Christ is my Redeemer and by Him I am Redeemed.
