First Peter, Ser. The Anabaptists sang a hymn that goes so very well with the message this morning. Lord Jesus Christ, strong Son of God, Remember in these days of blood Thy walls so breached and battered, Thy church so sorely shattered, Thy people peeled and scattered. Jesus is never called our Redeemer in the New Testament, even though he is called our Redeemer at least 18 times in the Old Testament. However, in the New our redemption is often attributed to him.
Redemption is a very important and prominent theme in the Scriptures.
The need of redemption suggest a bondage. The positive thinking modernists of this day would suggest that Isaiah needed to see a Christian counsellor and try to get a more positive image of himself. Isaiah, my good man, you are not undone. You are not unclean. Don't condemn yourself.
