Devotion 2/2, My Jesus Christ, He Rescued Me!

He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14

When someone buys out a business, the business probably went bankrupt. In fact, the same thing happened to us when Jesus on the market place of sin and death. He alone was able, but also loved us enough, to buy us out of the eternal mess through His blood. He alone had the power and strength to convert bankrupt lives into temples of the living God.

God has rescued us from the dungeon, the domain of darkness and has brought us into the marvelously lit kingdom of Jesus. This is where we were always meant to be. His kingdom is our true home. To be under Jesus’ reign and rule is what we all need. He leads us beside still waters, he makes us lie down in green pastures, and he even walks with us in the valley of the shadow of death. Indeed, he has walked with us through the valley of the shadow of death and he has delivered us through it, onto the other side, and into His kingdom.
