Chapter 14/Jehovah Provides "a Ransom in Exchange for Many"

"All creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together."  (Romans 8:22) With those words the apostle Paul describes the pitiful state in which we find ourselves.  From a human standpoint, there seems to be no way out of suffering, sin, and death.  But Jehovah does not have human limitations.  (Numbers 23:19) The God of justice has provided us with a way out of our distress. It is called the ransom. 

The ransom is Jehovah's greatest gift to mankind. It makes possible our deliverance from sin and death.  (Ephesians 1:7)  It is the foundation of the hope of everlasting life, whether in heaven or on a paradise earth.  (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:4)  But just what is the ransom? How does it teach us about Jehovah's superlative justice?
