His Indescribable Gift

It's the Christmas season, and at this time most everyone is searching for just the right gift to give those they love.
Tonight I want to share a little about the Unspeakable gift, that God Himself has given to mankind.
This gift was in the heart of God before the foundation of the world. It was a gift only He could give. It was a gift that took on flesh and became a "Son of Man". A title Jesus used to describe Himself. Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
His gift to us was announced the day of His birth into our world. It was announced by a multitude of Heavenly Host. Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
It was announced by a sign in the heavens, a Star appeared at His birth and then guided the wise men to the place where Jesus resided.
Mat 2:9b and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Mat 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Mat 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Not only was His birth announced at the moment of His arrival on planet earth; it was foretold even in the garden of Eden.
Gen 3:15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Jesus was and is the seed. Search it out, do a word study on the Seed. Gal 3:16-19
The birth of Jesus was the most foretold, prophetic event of all of the ages. The entire history of biblically recorded events, were foreshadows of His coming.
His birth was described by Isaiah in chapter 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
This was written over 700 years before Christ.
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Matt 2:6 this was also foretold over 700 years before Christ.
I want right now for you to see something with your spiritual eyes and hear this with spiritual ears. Jesus' coming is not according to man's invention. He was and is real, and He came to earth according to the time frame of God's will; He came to reconcile God with Man. He came to break down the wall of seperation from God, because of man's sin and take away the Sin Factor.
But this Gift is one that you must believe, in order to receive.
Tonight I want to show from scripture the unspeakableness, some of the magnitude of God's gift towards us.

Firstly I want you to realize how much God loves you and how throughout the ages He proclaimed this Gift of His Son for all mankind.
Secondly I want you to realize that God's desire is for you to become like Jesus by living according to His Spirit. God prepared Himself as a sacrifice for your sin so you can become the righteousness of Him. God wants you to receive His Son and All that means. Life and life abundantly.
In the first case God gave us many prophetic words from the beginning of creation.

I want you to see how the laws of compound probability work.
Each detail of a prophecy doubles the chance of the prediction not coming to pass. For instance, a prophecy with one detail, has one chance in two of fulfilment. a prophecy with two details, has one chance in four of coming to pass. This will show how impossible it is for all predictions concerning the Messiah's birth to be fulfilled other than by direct Divine Power and Will. God so loved that He gave His Son.
Chart of Compound Probability hand out.

This is a partial list of some of the predictions concerning Jesus Christ, His birth, death and resurrection.

Remember this is only a partial list. An indepth study of prophetic scripture concerning Jesus would reveal many, many other fulfilments, that number beyond the chart I gave you.
But even with these alone, the probablilties of fulfilment would be one in 137 Billion 438 million, 953 thousand, 400 hundred and seventy-two.
I think God is trying to get our attention.
Hey! Jesus is not just a good idea. His coming was planned, His offer of Salvation is open, His suffering was for us, His resurrection is our guarantee of Salvation and Eternal life to all those who seek Him.
2Co 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
The unspeakable gift, is a gift that contains ALL gifts pertaining to life.
In this gift is perfect peace (Shalom) for life.
In this gift is the Key to financial freedom.
In this gift is the way to perfect health.
In this gift is the way to Eternal life.
The Everlasting Life in us is the (hope) expectation of glory. Through this gift we have God in us, and therefore ALL things become possible to one who believes. To the one who believes, God's gift works in all areas of their life and they become more than conquorers.
The gift is God's Life, God's Spirit that we receive when we ask Him into our lives. Rom 6:23. Matt 7:11 Luke 11:13

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The laws of probability put Jesus' life beyond the scope of chance, into that of the Divine will of God. God's plan of redemption in human form, God's ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling all the requirements for the removal of the sin nature from man. We become clothed with His Righteousness, as soon as we accept the Sacrificial Lamb of God, the One who came to take away the sins of the world.
Without entering through Jesus, there is no remision of sin. Our sin cannot be wished away, it has to be accounted for, either by Jesus, our by us. When we accept His payment then all our debts are cancelled; and Jesus becomes one with us. We receive Eternal Life. The one caution I have is that you let this word sink into your heart and accept the offer of His unspeakable Gift, Jesus. Don't throw away a gift so precious, that it cost Someone His life.
May the Grace and Peace of God become a reality in your lives this Holiday Season. Amen.
