Kumabo is the word used in Burkina Faso for what Jesus did for us at Calvary. Kumabo means to take the head out. Africans who were on their way to the coast to go into slavery were chained by the neck to the person in front and behind them. If someone cared enough to pay to redeem them, they were released from the neck iron and freed. Kumabo, to take the neck out, to redeem. Jesus paid for our redemption with His life (K. Conkle).

The Word

Second Letter to the Corinthians 1,18-22.

Brothers and sisters: As God is faithful, our word to you is not "yes" and "no."
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not "yes" and "no," but "yes" has been in him.
For however many are the promises of God, their Yes is in him; therefore, the Amen from us also goes through him to God for glory.
But the one who gives us security with you in Christ and who anointed us is God;
he has also put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a first installment.
