Sweet Sunday Sermon – The word “Redeem” as found in the New Testament

Submitted by Dr. GP

In the New Testament we see that all people need redemption, since they are all slaves, being all sold under sin and in spiritual bondage. Jesus made this abundantly clear to the Jewish leadership of his day (John 8:31-36).

The Coming of the Redeemer and the accomplishment of Redemption is recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in accordance to the teaching of Galatians 4:4 that in the fullness of time, God sent his son into the world to redeem a people for himself. The Fall of man established man’s desperate need for redemption, and God had carefully and thoroughly prepared the world for the coming of the Redeemer in the balance of the Old Testament.

The four gospels are the inspired eye-witness accounts of the life, death and resurrection of the Saviour. Christ came to reveal the glory of God in human flesh, “the image of the invisible God, pre-eminent over all creation” (Colossians 1:15). He came to proclaim the kingdom of God and teach us about the way of salvation (Matthew 3:2). He came to conquer Satan and to destroy his work (Col. 2:15; I John 3:8). But above all, he came to die for sins and to rise triumphantly from the grave to display his victory. He came to redeem us! (John 3:16,17).

  1. “A better covenant because based on better promises. These promises are written on the heart, not
    on tables of stone”

    You have misinterpreted the passage. This means throw away your stupid bible seen.

  2. Blacks were emancipated from brutal slavery
    However the fight to overcome economic slavery is a fight that have blacks fighting the powerful white financial establishment of the world as well as black govts who are modern uncle Toms for powerful sources that control the economic wealth of their nation
    The dsy is fast approaching when God will put an end to such injustices
    As a matter of fact COVID might be the first step as we look around and large swath of financial Empires crumble to the ground
    Even the churches that profess that lies within its wall is truth and righteousness has not escaped
    As the old folks say God does not like ugly


  3. What does the Bible have to say about the Trump Conspiracies and the pussies that spam them like John and GP

    Isaiah 8:12
    Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.

    The dispensation for black liberation started in the 60’s when our generation was born to bless the world with love and not war and is still growing strong.

  9. Speaking natures of Gods wrath on mankind
    I have been reading reports of unusual amounts of rain this time of the year in sme countries at a time when weather changes are mostly mild to very cold weather
    I read reports of flooding in parts of fla this time of the year and lots of rain
    Could it be that nature is sending a signal that the in the coming months there might be long term droughts
    Hence all living in those countries should be prepared

    You are a medical doctor…that means University study. How did you manage that? I thought your religious order were prohibited from attending University. One local fella, a Corbin, was a Barbados Scholar (after you and JK), and to attend Uni his family was ‘read out’.


  11. NO
    I THINK THE CORBINS BELONGED TO THE EXCLUSIVE OR CLOSED BRETHREN- THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED OF THEM . I GREW UP IN THE ANGLICAN CHURCH UNTIL 16, AFTERWHICH I WENT TO A VERY GOOD BAPTIST CHURCH.

    I FIRST ATTENDED A PLYMOUTH BRETHREN ASSEMBLY. WHEN I WENT TO MED SCHOOL IN JAMAICA. HAD A LOT OF FUN TOO

    THE EXCLUSIVE OR CLOSED BRETHREN AROSE FROM J N DARBY BEING AN AUTOCRAT WHO CARRIED THE CONCEPT OF “SEPARATION” MUCH TOO FAR, DESPITE BEING WARNED BY OTHERS IN THE FOUNDING GROUP OF THOSE WHO MET AT DUBLIN BRISTOL AND PLYMOUTH

    WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY, THEY HAD A MEETING ROOM IN OISTINS AT THE JUNCTION OF HIGHWAY 7 AND THE OISTINS HILL RD, THEY ALSO HAD A MEETING ROOM ON RENDEZVOUS MAIN ROOM WHICH GOT INCORPORATED IN EARLY EDITIONS OF AN EXPANDING RENDEZVOUS SUPERMARKET
    THEY ARE ALMOST OBSOLETE. IN BARBADOS NOW

    THATS THE MOST I KNOW ABOUT THE EXCLUSIVE BRETHREN IN BIM EXCEPT THAT I KNOW THAT A NUMBER OF THEM WERE AT HC IN MY DAY—–HUNTES CORBINS PILES

    MOST OF THE WHITE BOYS WHO OPTED OUT OF PRAYERS WERE EXCLUSIVE BRETHREN

    makes sense. Being a religious illiterate, was not aware of the multiple variations. And yes, I heard my mother call them the closed brethren, she used to work for one of them.

    “So, Jewish Christians works just fine.
    Since the Apostles were Jewish and became the first to be called Christians at Antioch then it follows that the Apostles were the first Jewish Christians, or Asian Christians, or Middle Eastern Christians.”
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    So you fancy being ancestrally descended from the Jews of the Bible who were enslaved, as the fable goes, for over 400 years in ‘black’ Egypt?

    Then what does that make the same Jewish apostles who became so-called Christians?

    Formerly enslaved Egyptian ‘black’ Jews from the cursed tribe of Ham?

    Faced with that more realistic scenario we are sure you would now try to distant yourself as far away from being a ‘blackened’ Jew as you would wish to identify with any ancestors of voodoo high priests in Benin so widely represented in modern-day Haiti.


  14. NO
    was not aware of the multiple variations. BESIDES CLOSED AND OPEN, THEY WERE VARIATIONS BECAUSE OF SEVERAL SPLINTERS WITHIN THESE MAIN GROUPS

    AMONG THE OPEN BRETHREN THERE ARE TWO GROUPS IN BIM, A GROUP OF 13, ASSEMBLIES AND THEN ANOTHER GROUP OF AT LEAST 5 THAT I KNMOW ABOUT

    And yes, I heard my mother call them the closed brethren, she used to work for one of them.
    THEY HAD A LOT OF BUSYNESSES IN BIM

    Sounds like an un-chartered boat full of hypocrites sailing on a turbulent uncharted sea of conflict in search of one God.

    Doesn’t that remind you of the same thing which happened among the Jews and which gave rise to the Jesus (Joshua) cult?

    My Great Grandfather (1856 – c.1936) and his family were members years ago.

    Lived in Oistins above Scarborough on the land side.

    Just before the fork taking you up to Below Rock, or Below the Rock as it appears on old maps.

    Neighbour was Mr. Pinierho, almost certainly a descendant of an early Sephardic Jewish family … like me.
