I love being at the age where I don’t need much – I love giving to others and getting as many things on my grandkids’ list as I can.  It’s a joy – a real joy.

I think I can understand the joy of the Kings of the East who brought expensive gifts to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

Any gift you or I could ever give, however, pales in comparison to the indescribable gift of God’s grace in sending his eternal Son to earth as one of us to buy us back from the devil’s vice-like grip on our lives.

2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Christmas is a celebration of Phase I of God’s Indescribable Gift.

What is God’s “Indescribable Gift?

God’s unspeakable gift was not a gift of science; it was not a gift of hundreds of self-help books, nor was it a gift of understanding things like psychology.

No, God went a whole lot further than giving us material or intellectual gifts.

John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus leaped across eternity and came into time and space as one of us that first Christmas to bring us the gift of grace; the gift of eternal life.

He traveled with us for a while, about 33 years.

• Can you see him?  The Original Christmas Baby.
• Did he have a wrinkled red face?
• Tiny little fingers?
• Ten little toes trying to push out the bottom of the swaddling blanket?
• Hometown people could not believe it when he became famous.
• In school, did Jesus get all good grades?
• Did Jesus have to deal with pimples as a teenager?

Was He the best runner on the track team?

Did he want to have a girlfriend when he was an adolescent?

Jesus was (and is) fully human (except for sin). Yet fully God also.

The Gulf Between Two Realities

What a leap he took; He bridged the gulf between two realities: the spiritual world and the natural world; the sin world and the holy world.  Now we know He understands our weaknesses, but He took them on Himself, so He tells us not to fear.

Matthew 8:17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Luke 12:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Phase One of God’s Indescribable Gift was Christmas

Phase Two – The Death, Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus

Phase Three – Christ’s Return.  Any day now, Phase Three will begin.  Are you Ready?

Please receive God’s indescribable gift by being willing to turn from your sins, and turning to Jesus Christ, who came into the world to take your sins from you, and give you a fearless life, knowing that you’re ready for Phase Three.
