“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NASB)
There is a lot of thinking these days about gifts. People have been getting ready to exchange gifts – shopping and wrapping. Giving and receiving things consumes most people’s time. Christian believers began to observe the birth of Christ Jesus around the year 336 AD. As Christmas is a gift time, we must not forget that God gave His Son which was the fulfillment of a promise He made long before. When Christmas gifts are opened there are many expressions of reactions. We could say that those receiving the gifts eagerly describe them with words like, “What a beautiful sweater!” or “What a wonderful gift!” Our verse of promise we have today calls God’s gift of His only begotten Son, “indescribable” We can try to describe the gift that God gave, but is it not really an indescribable gift? Or “inexpressible” as a different version has it. There are no words that can adequately describe how great this gift of His love is. So, what do we do? We remember this gift not just this season but all year long. We remember to thank God with our whole hearts for His gift of Jesus Christ.
