The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. (9) No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, (10) and the ransomed of the LORD will return.

We must remember always that with Christ as our Redeemer, He has ransomed us from the powers of sin and the influences of the world. Since we have been ransomed by His blood, we now belong to Him. He has bought us for Himself. If we belong to Him, we do not belong to ourselves, or the world. We have been ransomed so that we can serve Him and honour Him. We have been redeemed so we can receive all the blessings God has promised. We must proclaim that we are His purchased servants and have given up our own rights and desires. If we hold on to what we were, and the desires of the world, we are denying His right as Redeemer and reclaiming our own lives for ourselves. We must understand the danger of being among those who deny the fact that He has redeemed us. If we are His redeemed servants we must serve Him, and Him alone. If we live as His redeemed servants, we know we will share all the blessings which God has promised to lavish on us.  Next Lesson:              Sanctification—John 17:14-21     This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:13
