The Great Exchange Christmas! it was the beginning of an earth shaking change. <br /> My Father's Choice. Me in You and You in Me. I come to <br /> change the world, not as a King or someone Great, No! but <br /> as a mere Babe, like you. Yet so different. For it was My life, <br /> from the beginning to be a ransom. I was like you, associat- <br /> ing with you, in every way, yet full of power to do for you, <br /> what you could not do for yourself. So that all who would <br /> believe in me and my life's work, trust in Me to do it well, <br /> even into Death; which was "Great Price" of the ransom. <br /> These who would believe and trust, would not perish, but <br /> have everlasting life. This was my Father's Choice and I con- <br /> sented. I was willing to do it all, for the Hope that was in Me, <br /> for the Glory that would follow. My Pleasure was to do my <br /> Father's will, to rescue his Creation, His Children who were <br /> doomed to Hell's destruction. My Father's Great Exchange, <br /> to all who were willing to exchange their Life for Mine, so for <br /> a moment I could visit Hell and lead the captives Free, for I <br /> would Pay the ransom needed, my very life, there was no <br /> other Way. <br /> Christmas, the Beginning of the "Great Exchange."<br /><br />Eleanor L.
