You were not released on parole. You were bought — completely, permanently free.
lýtron · G3083 · GREEK
The Greek word lýtron (λύτρον) means ransom — a price deliberately paid to set a captive free, at real cost to the one who pays it, describing freedom that is not given conditionally but purchased permanently — the transaction is complete and the ownership is changed, and pointing to the one who said He came not to be served but to give his life as a ransom for many. You were not released on mercy alone. You were bought.
Which verse about lýtron speaks to where you feel most in need of redemption today?
