An Indescribable Gift
with your ministry!

I
s your mailbox like mine these past few months — full of catalogues? And do you find yourself perusing them, reading each description to determine which might describe the perfect gift for one on your list? As a writer, I admire the skill it takes to write these descriptions. However, I suspect that the writers’ task would be exponentially more difficult if there wasn’t a photo to accompany the description. Even so, as difficult as it might be, it is always possible to find the words to describe the gift. In the Bible, the gifts that the kings brought to the Christ child are described: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The kings brought gifts to THE KING! The King of all time. The King of all kings! They brought their gifts on bended knee. They brought their gifts to THE GIFT! Jesus is the greatest gift of all time. God sent His Son to be born with the purpose of letting us know who God is. God, the Great I AM, revealed Himself through His Son who walked, talked, preached, healed, touched here on earth. God incarnate. He was THE GIFT! In the Bible, 2 Corinthians 9:15 says this about Jesus: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”

St. Paul says that it is not possible to describe this gift! There are no adequate, descriptive words. This Christmas, I hope and pray that you will join me and your Crystal Cathedral family in thanking God, the Father, for sending His Son, Jesus, who was born to die so you and I can live. This is truly an indescribable gift. Join me this Christmas in accepting (or reaccepting) the Gift of Jesus—unwrapping it, letting Him be the core of your life—and giving this same gift to others you know and love. Join me in thanking the King for His gift—His indescribable gift —Jesus!
Our Mission
To practice, through words and works, “God Loves You and So Do I!”
Merry Christmas
& Thank You!
