How Does Redemption Work in the Passover...

BibleProject Podcast
About this episode

Redemption E2 — Redemption involves a transfer of possession, and in the grand story of the Bible, humanity is under the possession of sin and death. But God’s plan is to snatch us back from death and bring us to life—to redeem us. But how does this redemption actually work? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at the Torah rituals of Jubilee and Passover, discovering the life-saving redemption that God is up to in both of these rituals.

  1. Recap and Setup for Redemption in the Torah (0:00-11:24)
  2. Jubilee as a Redemption of Land and People (11:24-31:05)
  3. Redemption in the Passover Rescue (31:05-01:01:20)
