Day Thirteen
"In him we have redemption through his blood" Ephesians 1:7
Praise God! You were once lost in your sin, angry, bitter, full of fear, desparate for someone to save you; then God reached down with the power of his might and love and brought redemption, which means he bought you back from the ownership of the devil and the sway of evil that held you captive. He allowed his son's blood to flow freeily, Christ went to the cross willingly, to save and cleanse all the filth, all the pain, all the shame, all the bad habits, and everything that kept you from truly finding peace and wholeness with God.
So, praise God for that redemption, for the blood of Christ that cleanses and restores. As you receive and give gifts this Christmas, reflect on the true nature of the gift that was given, prepared for you before time began, his blood that brought healing and completion of your heart, a healing balm; a heavy price that bought you and made you sons, daughters, princes, princesses.
Be blessed in the true knowledge, whatever your circumstance, his blood covers and heals those fears, anxieties, troubles, and cares, and rest in the knowledge of the eternal promise of communion and relationship with him.
Praise him.
Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool." Isaiah 1:18
