Hello Everyone,
2 Corinthians 9:15 is a short verse, only 8 words long. Listen as the apostle Paul says, "Thanks be unto God for His indescribable gift." This is the time of year when we are concerned about choosing just the right Christmas gifts to give to the special people in our lives.
But let me ask you, "Have you ever received an indescribable gift?" Have you ever received a gift that was beyond description? I thought about that for a while this week. What kind of gift would it have to be to be called "indescribable?" Would it be a gift that you open & look at & say, "This is just beautiful, & it is something that I’ve wanted all my life - what is it?" Or maybe it is a gift that carries a lot of emotional feelings with it.
It was given to you by someone very special, & it was a complete surprise when it was given. You’ll treasure it always because of the memories.
Would that make it an indescribable gift?Or maybe it would be a gift that you cared so little about that you wouldn’t even bother to find words to try to describe it.Every human gift is describable by someone.In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul at first is writing about human gifts.
The church in Corinth is taking up offerings to give to the poor Christians in Jerusalem.
He commends them for their eagerness to help, & reminds them that those who sow sparingly will also reap sparingly, but that those who sow generously will reap generously.Then he shifts his attention from human gifts to God’s gift of sending Jesus to earth for us. And he cannot find words to describe it. He says, "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift."

For 30 plus years I have been trying my best to describe this indescribable gift in every way that I know how and as of yet I have not come close.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
