SCRIPTURE READING:
2 Corinthians 9:12-15
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
SIGNIFICANCE:
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the greatest gift the Father could ever give to mankind.
Dear Father, I agree with Paul’s overflowing heart in saying “Thank You” for Your Indescribable Gift of Jesus to me and to all people who receive Him as our Savior! Oh, the invaluable, unspeakable gift You have given us! No thoughts, words or songs can begin to convey the greatness of Who Jesus is, nor of the love You lavish on us by sacrificing Your beloved Son for us! I thoroughly delight in the incomparable benefits (current and eternal) that we receive through life in Him (His glorious strength, peace, hope, mercy, pardon, righteousness, love, wisdom, joy, deliverance, light and infinitely more). I think of the saying by Augustine that, “He who has Christ has everything. He who has everything but does not have Christ has nothing. And, he who has Christ plus everything else has no more than he who has Christ alone.” Thank You that we have everything in Your Indescribable Gift! I repent for how I have often not treated Him as Your Indescribable Gift, and I pray that I, my family members and all other believers will, from now on, love Him, honor Him, cherish Him, worship Him, abandon ourselves to Him, abide in Him and speak continually about Him as Your blessed Indescribable Gift. I pray that Your Spirit will reveal the surpassing value of Jesus to unsaved people everywhere, so they will clamor to receive Him into their lives. I pray these things in the indescribable name of Jesus. Amen.
