After this season is over, many people take the gifts that they could not use or did not want back to the stores where they were purchased. Their hope is to redeem those gifts for cash money or exchange those gifts for something they wanted for themselves.
When Adam and Eve disobeyed My Father, all mankind received a gift from Satan that they did not want.. When I died on the tree to forgive the sins of the whole world, I gave mankind a beautiful gift in exchange for that corruptible gift Satan gave. That gift is My grace (God's Riches At Christ's Expense). Sadly, many have not believed in Me and received that gift of My grace.
On the day I became the perfect sacrifice that pleased My Father, I purchased you My righteousness in exchange for your self-righteousness. I redeemed you from sin and bought you for Myself with the price of My own shed blood. Rejoice today because you have received that gift of grace wrapped in My forgiveness and love. This is a Christmas gift that will keep on giving for all eternity.
