The Redemption Price of Man

Thursday, September 29, 2022

Messiah was bought for thirty shekels of silver, the price one would pay for a slave. In Hebrew, it's also called the pidyon, the redemption price required for every first-born son. In Scripture, the number of man is six. Divide the price of Messiah's life, thirty pieces of silver by six, you get five shekels, the price of redemption. The price of Messiah's life divided by five, the price of redemption, equals six, the number of man. Messiah's life was not the redemption price of one person, but for the redemption of all men. Every sin, bondage, freedom, healing, restoration, it's all there, covered in the price of Messiah's life. If you have anything you haven't lifted up to God, any sin, guilt, anything out of God's will, the price for its redemption is already covered. The transaction isn't complete until you give it to Him. Whatever the debt, the Lord will pay it. Whatever the loss, the Lord will redeem it, but you have to release it to His hands. In the thirty pieces of silver, it's all covered.
