Hello Everyone,
Now at this time of the year we do our best to describe the greatness of God’s gift of Jesus to us. Musicians have composed some of their greatest music on this theme: Handel’s "Messiah," Bach’s "Christmas Oratorio," & the beautiful hymns, "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day," ”Silent Night, Holy Night," "O Little Town of Bethlehem," & my favorite, "Joy to the World.”
Some of the greatest music we will ever hear are written about God’s indescribable gift. Poets & painters & sculptors have taken up the tools of their trade to honor Jesus, the gift of God’s love.Now Paul said, "Thanks be unto God for His indescribable gift." Why does Paul call Jesus "indescribable?"
I think that there are at least four reasons.First of all, I believe that Paul calls Jesus "indescribable" because of His nature. How do you describe Jesus? What words would you choose?
How do you describe a baby born of a virgin?
How do you describe God in flesh, walking on earth & reaching out to hurting people?Isaiah said He would be called Emanuel, "God with us."
How do you describe that? What words would you choose? How do you describe that which is spirit when all we have ever known is that which is either physical or material?
How do you describe God who has all knowledge when all we have is limited knowledge?How do you describe God who is all powerful?
How do you describe the eternal?
How do you describe the indescribable?Paul says that we can’t. Words aren’t adequate. But many of the wisest men in the world have tried to describe Jesus.

Oh How HE Loves Us!
