As we step into the fall, we're going to be learning each week about how Jesus is the Redeemer of all broken people, starting with the ones in his own genealogy. Today though we begin simply with the simple fact - The Redeemer is the Christ, the Son of David and Abraham, and his name is Jesus because he saves his people from their sins.
