Our unspeakable gift

Greetings:
Are there times when words just aren't enough to describe something?
In II Corinthians 9:15  we read: "Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift." 
Paul was saying this gift can't adequately be put into words.
What was so wonderful that it couldn't be put into words?
The gift of Jesus Christ.
I have often thought what my life would have been like without Christ.
Knowing Christ and his power gives me hope.
When I look at the vilest person I see the possibilities of that life under the power of Christ.
Yet scores and scores who know of Christ ignore him and deny his power to transform.
They overlook the "unspeakable gift" as they seek the false treasures of this world. The greatest blessing in this life and the next is to know Jesus Christ as our Savior.
God's gift to the world was Jesus Christ, and within Jesus is contained many things that are unspeakable!
Christ's birth and death is that unspeakable gift.
The Rev. C.H. Spurgeon effectively described it this way in sermon he delivered on May 13, 1860.
He said, “We delight to hear of that "unspeakable gift"—the Son of God, who bare our sine, and carried our sorrows, and endured our punishment in his own body on the tree. There is something so tangible in the cross, the nails, the vinegar, the spear, that we are not able to forget the Master, especially when so often we enjoy the delightful privilege of assembling round his table, and breaking bread in remembrance of him.”
We have to remember each day that the cross is a hospital for sick sinners. The cross reveals man's evil, but provides The remedy for it. Sinners are spared because Jesus died.
In Christ we find a  peace that is unspeakable or cannot be described. It affords a promise, that God will never leave us nor forsake us that is unspeakable or cannot be described. It affords a place, Heaven, that is unspeakable or cannot be described.
The Gift of Heaven came wrapped in very plain paper so very few people would choose Him - He came wrapped in the flesh of a Jewish peasant child.
Paul in his writings could not describe the indescribable Savior.  Christ Jesus is God's unspeakable gift to every one of us sinners
God's unspeakable gift is what we should be shouting praises for on Christmas morning.
