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

Letter to the Colossians 1,9-14.

Brothers and sisters: from the day we heard about you, we do not cease praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding
to live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God,
strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy
giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.
He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,
in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
