2 Corinthians 9 v15 reads,' Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift', here the writer is speaking about Jesus,he uses the word unspeakable in an attempt to describe the undescribable ,One writer has said, 'Language is ever weaker than our grief,and not seldom weaker than our love'.The writer is describing something that is beggaring description. in a sense he is lost for words..I am sure we all have had the experience of being lost for words. In John 3 v16 we read that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life'.First of all remember before Christ came He existed as God the Son,as that second person of the Holy trinity. So when He came he laid aside that which was associated with His divinity,yet was still divine, Philippians 2 v5-11 ,gives us a wonderful description what that involved,the limitations of being human.that meant for Him living out the role of a servant,it also meant obedience to the will of God in everything. The totality of that obedience was reached when He died on the cross,for the salvation of sinful men and women. No wonder the writer was lost for words in relation to God's gift, 'Jesus'.
