Jack is back!
Redemption - to offer something in exchange for something else.
In old days, when I was a kid, my parents would collect books of "Blue Chip Stamps" and exchange (redeem) them for various household items and toys.
In the story, Mr. Benton sacrificed his life in the minefield in exchange to help his boys escape. Jack gave up his freedom in exchange to get the boys into the embassy.
Thus, Mr. Benton and Jack were "Jesus figures" in this story.
Wonder if some theology student has written a Gospel according to 24?
Well, God can be found in unexpected places?!
There is after all a Gospels According to the Simpsons!
