( He resets our value )

Fehu‘i #20

Ko hai ‘a e Huhu‘i?

( Who is the Redeemer?)

Ko e Huhu‘í  ko e ‘Eiki ko Sisu Kalaisí  pe taha, ko e ‘Alo ta‘engata ‘o e ‘Otuá, ‘a Ia na‘e hoko mai ai ‘a e ‘Otuá ‘o kakano, koe‘uhí  ke ne fua ‘a e tautea ‘o e angahalá ‘e Ia.

( The only Redeemer is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, in whom God became man and bore the penalty for sin himself)

1 Timote 2:5

He ‘oku taha pē ‘a e ‘Otua, taha foki ‘a e Fakalaloa ‘i he vaha‘a ‘o e ‘Otua mo e tangata, ko Kalaisi Sīsū ko e tangata.

  1 TIMOTHY 2:5

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and

men, the man Christ Jesus.

Commentary - MARK DEVER

The Redeemer is Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. The eternal Son of God became man and lived a real human life like ours. For a little more than thirty years in the first century AD, he lived like you

and me; the only difference is that he always trusted God. He trusted him entirely. So if you think of ways just yesterday and the day before that you should have trusted God and didn't, in those very times Jesus obeyed God. He trusted that what God knew was better, that he should follow his Father's will.

When I look back on my own life, I know that I haven't lived like that. But the Redeemer, Jesus Christ, has. He is called the Redeemer because he “re-deems" his people. He resets our value.
