 Jibi: saar, how I thank you ? you…very good man! You - real man!
 Rebecca: Sir, I don’t think you know this man before; why are you helping him?
 Jeswin: Yes, some one must pay the price to help this poor man. I have done it because Christ Jesus has done the same to me.
 Sujin: Christ helped you? Can you explain that please?
 Jeswin: I was destined for eternal hell but Jesus Christ has redeemed me from there. He died in my place so that I can have an eternal life.
 Joana: What do you mean sir?
 Jeswin: Because of sin, the whole human race deserved to be eternally separated from God. Man had literally sold his soul for a few fleeting pleasures of this life. But because of the grace of God, Jesus through his death - paid the ransom and saved the mankind from eternal death.
 Rebecca: Yes, Apostle Peter says that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish or defect.
 Joel: The Bible also says, “For there is one God, and One Mediator between God and men- Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a ransom for all”
 Joana: Captain, I remember an old hymn- "Redeemed - How I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb; His Child and forever I am." 
Jeswin: Come on, let’s sing it now

Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child and forever I am.
 Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child and forever I am.
 Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
 I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long:
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
I know there’s a crown that is waiting,
In yonder bright mansion for me,
And soon, with the spirits made perfect,
At home with the Lord I shall be.
