God's Gift

Have you ever been called a “gift” because of who you are and what you give to others?

Second Corinthians 9:15 describes Jesus as a gift. “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.”

Why would Paul refer to Jesus as an indescribable gift? Jesus is a gift because He gives us salvation as Ephesians 2:8 explains. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;”

Why would Paul use the word indescribable in reference to Christ? Because there are no human words that can portray the awfulness of hell from which He rescued us nor the heights and delights of heaven to which He delivered us. Not until heaven will we fully grasp the gift of salvation.

In the meantime, God’s gift of Christ is already being unwrapped day by day as He extends grace, mercy, forgiveness, and the Holy Spirit to us to be our guide, helper, and comforter.

As we read and meditate on each of God the Father’s, Son’s, and Spirit’s attributes, we more fully appreciate the indescribable gift we have in Christ and our salvation.

Who do you know who could use this indescribable gift? Will you tell them all you have, love, and appreciate about the Lord Jesus? It is when they see in you and hear you speak of Him and the gift He is to you that they will yearn to also have the indescribable gift.

Thank You, Heavenly Father and Jesus, God’s INDESCRIBABLE GIFT. Help us be messengers of Your gift to others.

Happy Mother’s Day! We hope all you mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures have a blessed and love-filled day!
