We're nolonger sold out to Sin. Mercy has rewrote our Lives. We've been set free by the blood of Jesus from Slavery to Sonship!

1. 1
Understanding the last statement Jesus Made on the
cross “IT IS FINISHED’!!
Foundational Text: John 19:28,30
From a doulos (Slave) THROUGH REDEMPTION to a heios (Son).
REDEMPTION:
To redeem means ‘to purchase.’ When Christ died for our sins, He paid the price that satisfied the
demands of God’s holiness. The price of redemption was the blood of Christ. In explaining
redemption to the Galatians, Paul used three different words that were applied to purchasing
servants at the ancient slave markets:
I. Agorazo: ‘to purchase in the market,’ is used to explain how Christ paid the
redemption price of His blood, which was sufficient to purchase every one
‘sold under sin’ [Galatian 3:10, 2 Peter 2:1]
II. Ekagorazo: ‘to purchase and take home, out of the slave market (An Exodus)’
emphasizes that Christians have been purchased out of the marketplace and are no
longer for sale. [Galatians 3:13]
III. Lutroo: ‘to purchase and give freedom and to confer son ship,’ emphasizes the
liberty that belongs to a soul redeemed by God. Through Christ believers have
become God’s sons by adoption [Galatians 4:5] The Christian is encouraged to
stand fast in that liberty [Galatians 5:1]
REDEEMED BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST:
Agorazo: Purchased by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ from the marketplace of
slavery under sin. We were completely sold out because of our failure to keep the entire
Law. But Jesus has graciously, given His Own Blood at the Cross as ransom for our sin
and has paid for our freedom! O Hallelujah, praised be the Lord for the Blood!

 Siswati ‘Nati kutsi nahlengwa ngani ekuhambeni kenu lokwakulite, lenakunikwa
bokhokho. Anihlengwanga ngetintfo letigugako njengesiliva negolide; Kodvwa
nahlengwa ngengati leligugu yeliWundlu lelinguKristu, lelingenacala
nalelingenasici. Yena watinchanti, live lisengakasekelwa, kodvwa wabonakaliswa
kuletikhatsi kuletikhatsi tekugcina ngenca yenu.’
 NKJV ‘Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation [vain lifestyle] received by
tradition from your fathers. But with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of a Lamb
without blemish and without spot. Who verily was foreordained before the
foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.’

2. Sembulo/Revelatians 5:9-10
 Siswati ‘Kwahlatjelwa ingoma lensha letsi:Ufanele wena Kuyitsatsa lencwadzi
legocotiwe, ufanelefutsi kuticatulula netimphawu tayo, yebo, ngobe wena
wahlatjwa, ngengati yakho wahlawulela bantfu kuNkulunkulu. Labantfu
bachamuka emindenini yonkhe, nasetilimini tonkhe, nasetiveni tonkhe, nasemaveni
onkhe.’
 NKJV ‘And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the Book, and
to open the seals thereof for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by
Your Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and have
made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.’
3. Imisebenti yebaPostoli/Acts 20:28
 Siswati ‘Ticapheleni nine kanye nemhlambi wonkhe lobekwe etandleni tenu
nguMoya Longcwele, neluse libandla laNkulunkulu latitsengela lona ngengati

 Siswati ‘Anati yini kutsi umtimba wenu ulithempeli laMoya Longcwele lohlala
kini, lenamemukela kuNkulunkulu, nekutsi futsi anisibo benu? Nine
nibaNkulunkulu, natsengwa ngelinani lelikhulu. Ngako-ke Mdvumiseni
Nkulunkulu emitimbeni yenu.’
 NKJV ‘What? Do you not know that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit
which dwell in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you
are bought with a price: therefore, Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God’s.
RECONCILIATION THROUGH THE BLOOD:
Ekagorazo: to Purchase and take home. The blood of Jesus buys us back home. It
reconciles us to our Father. It takes us back to fellowship with God where we fell from.
The sacrificial Atoning Death of Jesus Christ transformed the relations of God and
mankind. In Christ, God reconciled not a nation, but ‘the World’ to himself through the
Blood shed which atoned for sin.
5. KubaseFesu/Ephesians 2:12-13
 Siswati ‘Nikhumbule nekutsi ngaleto tikhatsi benehlukanisiwe naKrsitu,

tesetsembiso, nite litsemba, nite naNkulunkulu emhlabeni. Kodvwa nyalo nine

benikadze nikhashane naNkulunkulu senimunye kuKrsitu Jesu.
Senisondzetwe kuKristu Jesu. Senisondzetwe ngengati yaJesu.
 NKJV ‘That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of Promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus youwho sometimes
were far off are made nigh[near] by the Blood of Christ.

 NKJV ‘Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse
for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.’
FREEDOM THROUGH THE BLOOD:

 NKJV ‘ And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness and the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Him who loved us from our
sins in His Own blood, and has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father;
to Him be Glory and Dominion forever and ever. Amen.’

semukeleke njengemadvodzana.’

adoption of sons.’
STANDING FAST IN THE LIBERTY CHRIST HAS PURCHASED FOR US THROUGH HIS BLOOD:

4. 4
For freedom Christ freed us. Therefore we are to stand fast[retain our spiritual freedom]
and do not again be subject to the yoke of bondage. The yoke of bondage in view here
is freedom from the Law, here called ‘a yoke of bondage.
10. KubaseGalathiya/Galatians 5:1
 Siswati ‘Khristu wasikhululela kutsi sihlale sikhululekile. Manini-ke, nicine,
ningaphindzi niboshelwe ejokeni lebugcili.’
 KJV ‘Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage’
Stages of sonship:
1) Nepios Stage: A babe. Though an heir but differs not from a slave due to lack of
Maturity. Great Learning and foundation (Milk) are necessary. _Galatians 4:1, Hebrews
5:12-14
2) Teknon Stage: A young child. Ready to be given responsibility but there are
inconsistencies in carrying out the will of the father…shows more training is necessary_
Matthew 21: 28-31 (Parable Sons in the teknon stage)
3) Neaniskos Stage: Similar to the Maturity of ‘young men.’ This is the stage of the
overcomer. This son has been tested and displayed strength and who in the testing has
represented the word of God silencing all the noises. _1 John 2:13-15
4) Huios Stage: Final stage of sonship. This is the son who may be sent as the full,
complete representation of the Father. Matthew 21: 33-44 (Parable of the Huios Son).
The Huios son carries the measure of the house of God when he is sent. This is the fully
mature, Christ-like son.
