“Indescribable!”
Paul says that the gift God gave each of us that first Christmas is “indescribable.” The Living Bible says it’s “too wonderful for words.” Consider this: “Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given” (Isaiah 9:6). Jesus was both God and man. As a child He was born, but as the Son of God He could only be given, because He always existed. So He is the perfect solution to our sin problem because He understands both the claims of divinity and the struggles of humanity. Today let’s examine this “indescribable gift.” First, He is our daysman. Job said, “Neither is there any daysman [umpire, mediator, or middleman] betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both” (Job 9:33). Daysman is an old English word for someone who was more than just an umpire; they could actually join the game and bring both sides together. So when you mess up, Jesus keeps one hand on you and the other on God so that the connection is never broken. “Indescribable”! Second, He is our intercessor. The Bible says, “He is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them” (Hebrews 7:25 NIV). If you had to remember and confess all the sins of omission and commission you commit each day, you would never sleep; you would live on your knees. But Christ’s death covers all the wrong you have done (commission), and His life covers all the good you have left undone (omission). So He is fully qualified to represent you before the throne of God. There is only one word that fits such a Christmas gift: indescribable.”,2 Peter 1-3,https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1-3&version=NIV,Jude,https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude&version=NIV,,,https://cdn.ucbradio.com/twfyt/audio/approved/20221225.mp3
