Isaiah 44:6
“This is what the LORD says- Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Search out a dictionary on the definition of redeemer and you inevitably get the explanation "Christianity: Jesus Christ".
Today it hit me as I was on the bus to work and pondering over something. Christ is my redeemer. In every miserable situation, any tragic piece of news that is heard, He has allowed me to overcome and be set-free.
How easy it is to forget that in life, there's only one redeemer for us. ONE! If the dictionary could be allowed to quote the source of the definition, this verse above should be it.
Apart from God, there is no other. Our God reigns.
