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 overcome 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 stated she was humbled in her spirit -
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!
II Corinthians 9:15
