For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. … Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
Dear Ones: Indescribable Gift! Our Loving Father God is the ultimate Giver. He gave His only Son as the Suffering Servant described in Isaiah 53. When you pause to think about the magnitude of the Gift given for our salvation it overwhelms the mind and mere words fail. How do you articulate your gratitude for such a Gift?
The word indescribable means something that goes beyond the human ability to express in language or by any art form. In Isaiah 55:8-9, we get a glimpse of why this is so, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
If we try to reason out the ways of God with our intellect, then we will fail every time. But when we go to Him through Love, then the intellect is by passed. It is through Love that we truly begin to know Him. Our Father’s Love was the prime motive for the Redemption Plan. Love kept the Lord Jesus on the Cross. Our unfeigned Love is what He desires from us as a response to His indescribable gift.
May your joy overflow at His Indescribable Gift this Passion Week. You don’t have to understand His ways with your intellect, just love Him back. Love Him with your whole heart. Thank Him for the Gift. You are His joy and delight. Have an overcoming day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
