Indescribable

INDESCRIBABLE

The news was so unbelievable,

the shepherds must have thought "indescribable."

The angel had promised "good news of great joy"

to ALL people – not just good girls and boys.

The shepherds were so astonished by this news

they practically ran to see if it was really true.

Yes! Good news, indeed!

It was true, we read.

So unbelievable they told everyone -

"Jesus our Savior is born, He's God's Son!"

Everyone who heard this good news were amazed.

Wondrous! Glorious! Was there even a phrase?

Mary, though, thoughtfully treasured and pondered these events in her heart.

Perhaps everything was so indescribable she didn't know where to start.

Do you realize it was the shepherds who told her about the angel's pronouncement.

Unbelievable! Unthinkable! She must have been dumbfounded with amazement.

That God should orchestrate such an awesome production

that would be talked about even to our generation -

of the glory of the Lord descending from heaven

with good news of great joy: a Savior has been born!

The news was so indescribable, the shepherds could not stop talking about it.

The news was so indescribable, Mary was quite dumbfounded by it -

that God should come down to earth

in the form of a baby's birth.

This incredibly good news is still spread abroad today

as Christians everywhere celebrate on Christmas Day

the most indescribable gift of all -

God's gift of salvation is for us all.

God has so many incredibly good things in store for your life.

One being that Jesus came as Immanuel or God with us, through strife.

Let Jesus be your burden bearer.

Acknowledge Him today has your Savior.

When they had seen him,

they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God

for all the things they had heard and seen,

which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:17, 18, 20

But Mary treasured up all these things

and pondered them in her heart.

Luke 2:19

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
