OUR KINSMAN-REDEEMER The incarnation o f the Lord Jesus Christ and his birth o f a virgin is a basic truth o f our Christian Faith. God became man. This is not merely a phase in time, but the sublimest fact o f eternity because only through human birth and normal devel opment could Jesus become our eternal High Priest, out Kins man-Redeemer. Leviticus 25:47, 48 sets forth God’s rule o f redemption. The Israelite who had sold himself into slavery could be redeemed only by one o f his brethren. The redeemer must be a kinsman! Here we have one o f the reasons for the incarnation. It follows that God must become man in order to be our Kinsman-Re deemer. God became our kinsman. As we ponder this our heart is filled with overflowing awe. The mes sage o f the incarnation is the message o f the "Kinsman” who came to be our Redeemer. How we rejoice in this truth, but our rejoicing is tempered with sad ness as we think o f our kinsmen according to the flesh who do not know o f Him who came to save His people from their sins. Your prayers and gifts will help us to be more fully ministers o f His saving grace in bringing the Gospel o f redemption to Is rael so that they, too, may come to rejoice with us in the incarnate Lord Jesus Christ.
