There is a story...that may help Illustrate redemption...what Christ ...has done for us.

In 1927, ...in West Africa... a blood specimen was taken from a native man named Asibi, ...who was sick ...with yellow fever.

A vaccine ...was made ...from this original strain of the virus... obtained from this man.

In fact, ... all the vaccine manufactured since 1927 by the Rockefeller Foundation ...and other health agencies, ...are derived ...from the original strain of virus ... obtained...from this one man.

Through the creative imagination of science, ...the blood of this one man in the West Africa... has been made available... to serve... the whole human race.

Beloved ... The blood of Jesus ...has also come to serve and to save ... the human race.

For the word of God declares ... In Christ we have redemption Through His blood. (Ephesians 1:7)

We are redeemed... through the atonement ... through the Amazing Grace of Jesus.

Because of his great love ....and desire for us to be reconciled ...., he paid the ultimate price ...the full price... to clear the full debt. (1 Peter 1:18)
