Sermon Overview
Reidhead uses the Old Testament "Kinsman Redeemer" to explain the Atonement. He details the three requirements of the Goel: He must be a "Kinsman" (Incarnation), he must be "Able" (Deity/Sinlessness), and he must be "Willing" (Grace). This message highlights the legal beauty of Christ "redeeming our lost inheritance."
Key Principles
Law of the Goel: Study the "Kinsman Redeemer" (Boaz) to see the legal logic behind Christ's work for you.
Next of Kin: Meditate on the "Incarnation"; realize Christ had to become your "Brother" to have the legal right to save you.
Able and Willing: Rest in the fact that Christ is both "Able" (sinless) and "Willing" (grace-filled) to pay your debt.
Buying the Inheritance:Confidently claim your "lost inheritance" (peace, power, joy) because the Price has been paid.
Restoring Property:Trust Christ to restore the "territory" of your life (emotions, mind) that the enemy once occupied.
Boaz and Ruth: See yourself in "Ruth"—unworthy, foreign, and broken—but fully accepted by the Great Boaz.
Completed Transaction:Refuse to feel "guilty" for past debts; stand on the fact that the transaction is Finished.
