2 Corinthians chapter 9. I'd like to read just one verse
of scripture. Verse 15. I think there's enough here to
occupy our time for the next 30 or 40 minutes. May God enable
us to do this very thing. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable
gift. This message was intended be
brought to you the Sunday before Thanksgiving. But as you know,
I wasn't able to do it at that time. But regardless of that,
a believer, a child of God, has abundant reason to be thankful
every day of the year, doesn't he? For a believer, there's one
gift for which he is thankful above everything else. And that
gift that our text speaks of is the Lord Jesus Christ. We
always have reason, cause, abundant cause to give thanks to God for
Him. You've heard the story, I'm sure
I've mentioned it before. I read it in one of Spurgeon's
sermons not long ago. the story of the poor widow woman
who sat down to a very meager meal of bread and a glass of
water and she bowed her head and thanked God for it. And then
she raised her head and looked at it and said, oh my, all of
this, all of this, and Jesus Christ too. God help us to be
thus thankful. The gift of all gifts, the gift
of all gifts, God's unspeakable gift. It's just a few more weeks, and
it'll be Christmas. We'll receive gifts, and we'll
give gifts. We'll receive those, and we'll
say, oh, you shouldn't have done that. How thankful. And then
we'll open it, and we'll look at it, and we might think, I'll
be taking that back. I'll be returning that. Oh, but
not this. Not God's unspeakable gift. Thanks
be unto God for his unspeakable gift. Let's consider first the
gift. The gift. And of course, Paul
speaks of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the gift of God. We didn't earn him. God wasn't
paying a debt when he sent his son. We didn't merit him. Jesus Christ is a gift of God's
free grace, freely he was given. We had no claim on him. That's
exactly right. Our religious world thinks God's
indebted to them, that God owes them mercy, that he's obligated
to give them mercy, but not so. We had no claim upon him. We
didn't even feel our need of him. We read that a moment ago
in Isaiah 53. All we like sheep have gone astray.
We turn everyone to our own way. Not your way, O Lord, but ours. Not your will, O God, but ours. We didn't desire him. But God,
notwithstanding that in spite of ourselves, not because of
us, but in spite of us, God freely, out of his abundant love and
grace, gave us his son. gave us His Son and gave us to
His Son. For God so loved the world that
He gave. He gave. He freely gave His only
begotten Son. God the Father gave us His Son
in the everlasting covenant of grace before the world began. He gave us His Son when He was
made flesh like His brethren and dwelt among us. He gave us
His Son again on Mount Calvary. And He gave us His Son in the
new birth when Christ, our surety, our blessed Savior, is made to
live in our hearts. In giving us salvation and eternal
life, God gave us Christ. God gave us all of Christ. And
all that He done and all that He possesses is ours. Christ
is our salvation. Our life, our all, and all that
we have, all that we are, are a free gift of God's grace through
and because of His Son. It's all wrapped up in Him, isn't
it? All wrapped up in Him. Brother Henry Mayhem, in his
commentaries, wrote this, on this verse of Scripture. Thanks
be unto God for His unspeakable gift, our Lord Jesus Christ. Henry wrote, the giver of every
gift, the fountain of all blessings, And this only Savior of sinners,
this gift is indescribable, inexpressible, and beyond telling. As Brother
Scott Richardson put it, as only he could, God put all of his
eggs in one basket. And that is Jesus Christ. That
basket is Christ. Where else could all fullness
dwell? You cannot overestimate the value
of God's own dear Son. What price could you put on Him?
Or how could you value the Son of God? He is precious, Peter
wrote, to those that believe. Consider it in this way. Without
Christ, where would we be? Without Christ, what hope would
we have? Without Christ, if I don't have
Christ, it doesn't much matter what of this world I might possess.
What does it matter? Oh, but with Christ, what does
it matter how little of this world that I have if I have Him?
Paul in Romans 11 wrote this, verse 34, for who had known the
mind of the Lord, who hath been his counselor, God didn't ask
advice of anyone, the all-wise, all-knowing God, who hath first
given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again. For
of him, and through him, and to him are all things, to whom
be glory forever and ever. Amen. and all the wisdom and
all the purposes and all the eternal degrees of God are all
in Christ and they can only be understood as we discover them
in Him. I read this the other evening
by Mr. Spurgeon. He said, Beloved, he
who has used Christ most and used Him longest will tell you
this, at first Christ is everything to the newborn soul in one direction. By and by, he is everything in
another direction. And in the end, Christ is everything
in every direction. As the Bride of Solomon song
says, he's altogether lovely. No matter what angle you view
him, or what side you look upon the Son of God, you must conclude
this. He's altogether lovely. I see
no fault in him whatsoever. Tell me, Spurgeon wrote, tell
me, my gray-headed friend, What do you think of Christ? If you
have known him for 50 years, at what is Christ best? Best,
you ask? He is best at everything. And
indeed he is. Many of you have Don's commentaries.
Old Testament and New. And Shelby is still working on
putting them out from manuscripts that Don left before he went
to glory. Exodus was the last one he completed
before he made his exit out of this world and went to be with
the Lord. But you notice that the The title
of those commentaries are Discovering Christ in Genesis, Discovering
Christ in Exodus, and so on. If we fail to see Christ, Don
writes in those commentaries, if we fail to see Christ in every
book, whether it be Old Testament or New, we haven't really discovered
the meaning of God's Word. That's exactly right. That's
why Don called those Discovering Christ. Whether it's in Genesis
or Revelation, the picture there, The story, the meaning is Christ. Take him out and you can't, you're
just in a, you're just in a quadrant. You can't find your way out.
It's like a maze that you can never find your way through if
you take Christ out. Remember, after our Lord's resurrection,
those two disciples on the road to a maze that we read about
in Luke 24, they're walking along and they're communing with one
another and they're They're just trying to figure out this thing
because they had hoped that Jesus Christ was the Redeemer. Well,
they were right. They were right. That He had
been He that should redeem Israel. Little did they know He'd already
redeemed Israel. And Christ joins Himself to them
as they walk along. And afterwards, as they're sitting
at a meal, our Lord, we read there in Luke 24, verse 27, and
beginning at Moses, the first five books of the Bible, And
all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures
the things concerning himself. And after he bowed his head to
pray, and it was revealed to them who he was, they arose and
fled to Jerusalem to tell the disciples, the eleven, as they
were gathered together for fear of the Jews, that they had seen
the risen Lord." Oh, what good news. He's not here. He's risen,
isn't that what the angel said to Mary? Just like, you go tell
the disciples he's not here anymore. He's risen, just like he said
he was. Just destroy this temple, and in three days, he told those
that hated him, I'll raise it up again. Oh, up from the grave
he arose, victorious over everything. And when he appeared to the eleven,
he said to them, these are the words which I spoke unto you.
while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written again in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets,
and in the Psalms concerning me. Then he opened their understanding
that they might understand the Scriptures." You know how he
did that? He gave them the key. It's as though Christ said, here's
the key to understanding all those Old Testament prophecies. Here's the key. It's all about
me. It's all about me. There's the key to understanding.
It's all about me, Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge. How could this dilemma ever be
solved without Christ? This one question, for example,
would remain unanswered, would have no answer. without the Son
of God. How can a man be just with God
without Jesus Christ that would never be sought, that would never
be answered by the deeds of the law? Some people are foolish
enough to think they can be justified by the deeds of the law. The
law was never intended to justify a sinner. That's not why God
gave it. That's not why God gave it. Never, for by the law we
read in scripture is the knowledge of sin. The law exposes sin. Now I assume that we all stood
in front of a mirror this morning. We did what we could with what
we had. The best we could do. I speak for myself. But the mirror
reveals that I needed to shed. So I shaved. But the mirror couldn't
remove my whiskers. No, for that I needed a razor
and shaving cream. Thus it is with the law. The
law exposes sin. The law reveals sin. The law
condemns us as sinners. But it can do nothing to alleviate
that. It can do nothing to take away
my sin. For that we must look to Christ
who fulfilled the law. And that's exactly what we read
in Galatians 3. Christ had redeemed, past tense. Don't you like that? Christ had
redeemed us from the curse of the law. How? By being made a
curse for us. For it is written, cursed is
everyone that hangeth upon a tree. And no one else could do that. No one else but the perfect Lamb
of God, in whom was no sin, did no sin, Only he could satisfy
God's holy law. When the fullness of the time
was come, God sent forth his son, made of a woman, made under
the law, to do what? What? To redeem. Hallelujah. He redeemed those that were under
the law that we might receive the adoption of sons again. We
join with the apostle in saying, thanks be unto God for his unspeakable
gift. If He doesn't come, there will
be no salvation. Remember, our Lord said, as was
prophesied in Psalm 40, I believe, I come to do thy will, O my God. When the fullness of time was
come, God sent forth his son. God so loved a world of helpless
sinners that he gave us his son, sent him forth. And his son's
response was this, I come, oh father, in the volume of the
book it is written of me, I come to do thy will, oh God. Man,
that's not a small statement. That's not a small statement. Because as I told you before,
God's not easily pleased. But if Jesus Christ doesn't,
if he doesn't come, if he doesn't satisfy every jot and tittle
of God's law, none will be saved. None will ever be saved. If he
doesn't satisfy God's justice, then God cannot. Now, I know
we seldom think of anything that God cannot do, but, well, God
cannot lie. And God cannot justify a sinner
unless he's perfectly just in doing so. And when Jesus Christ
cried this from the cross, oh what a glorious proclamation,
it is finished. Then God in strict justice declares,
on the grounds of justice satisfied, God says this, deliver his soul
from going down to the pit. Oh, that the ransom has been
paid. Delivered that sinner from going
down to the pit, because I found the ransom. And remember what
Christ said? The Son of Man has come to give
his life a ransom. The price has been paid, and
God Almighty accepted that payment. In Romans chapter 3, verse 24,
Paul tells us this very thing. Being justified freely, without
any cost from us. being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. It comes
freely to us, but it cost Christ dearly, didn't it? He paid a
dear price to obtain our eternal salvation, whom God has set forth
to be a perpetuation through faith in his blood, to declare
his righteousness for the remission of sins, that are passed through
the forbearance of God to declare, I say at this time, His righteousness,
that He, God, that God might be just and the justifier of
him that believeth in Jesus. It was on the cross that Jesus
Christ enabled God to justify a sinner and do it on just and
holy grounds. God didn't set aside His law. Oh no, Christ satisfied His law. when he was made sin for you
and I, and only he could do that. Only he could do that. And that's
why we read this in Psalm 85 verse 10. Only here did this
take place. Mercy and truth are met together. Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have
kissed each other. Righteousness shall go before
him, and shall set us in the way of his steps." When I think
about that, when I read that, that it shall set us in the way
of his steps, the righteous steps of the Son of God, I think of
that winter that I followed my father out of the holler. There
must have been 12 inches of snow. And he was leading the way. And
man, every step he would take, he was not just a little fella.
But man, everything I could do just to stretch and put my foot
in the print that he'd already made. I was following in his
steps. When I read this in Psalm 85 verse 13, that God shall set
us in the way of his steps. God treats us as though we walk
before him in perfect obedience and absolute righteousness. Isn't
that something? God puts us in the steps of his
Dear son, the Lord Jesus Christ, again, thanks be unto God for
his unspeakable gift. Unspeakable. Words fail me. So here's the second thought.
Remember what we were without God's unspeakable gift. Where
we were without God's unspeakable gift of his son, Paul tells us
in 1 Corinthians 6 and 9, know ye not that the unrighteous,
oh, that's us. That's us. Oh, we might be very
moral, but we're not righteous. And God demands righteous. That
the unrighteous shall not, regardless of what they do, regardless of
who they are, regardless of how moral, how upright, no matter
how a good life as we say they lead, the unrighteous, they are
still. And they shall not inherit the
kingdom of God. And Paul says, such were some
of you. We were all there. We were all
among them. Such were some of you, and such we would yet be,
dead in trespasses and sins, dead in sin and unable to do
anything about it. Most preachers today, most churches
around us, spend their time trying to convince sinners how easy
it is to be saved. It's so easy. We can slip up
on their blind side. No, no, no. We're dead in sin. It's impossible. A dead man can't
help himself. He can do nothing. And until
God comes to him and gives him life, he'll remain dead. He may
be religious, but he's dead. He doesn't have the life of God.
He can't believe. He can't believe. He can't repent. He can't come to Christ. He can't
be saved. If he doesn't, though, can he?
He can't do those things if left to himself, but he can't be saved
otherwise. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved, but left dead in sin? I can't believe. Faith is not in me. It's not
there. So what's the answer? Is there
no hope for a lost man? Is there no hope for our sons
and daughters? Must we wait until they're able
to give themselves life? Well, that's never going to happen.
It's never going to happen. lost and unable to find our way. If left alone, I'll perish. I'll
lift up my eyes in hell. If God leaves me to myself, I'll
never be saved. I'll never even see my need of
God's mercy, my need of God's grace. If he doesn't get me lost,
I'll never cry out like that poor blind beggar sitting in
his darkness and in his rags by the wayside. If God doesn't
reveal my condition to me, I'll never be made. Thank God his
people are made willing in the day of his power. I'll never
cry out, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. That'll never
happen. That'll never happen. I'll never
bow before the Son of God like that outcast leper and plead,
fall down begging, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. That'll never happen. If Christ
doesn't come to me and find me, I'll never be found. I'll never
be saved. I'll never have grace because
grace only comes through Jesus Christ. Then what's the hope? That at that, here we are by
nature. At that time ye were without Christ. Religious, moral,
upright, but without Christ. Being aliens from the commonwealth
of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope. Without Christ, of course, no
hope. Without God in the world. Here's
what must take place. This is what has taken place
for every child of God. This is what happened. The Lord
Jesus Christ said this in John's Gospel chapter 5, verily, verily,
truthfully, truthfully, I say unto you, the hour is coming,
and now is when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God, and they that hear shall live. That's how saviors receive life.
That's how they're born again. The Son of God comes to where
they're at and says, live. Live. The Lord said, they shall
hear. They shall hear. Not just the
voice of a preacher. They shall hear the voice of
the Son of God. When He speaks, they'll hear.
They'll not turn a deaf ear to Him. They do to you and I. Oh,
but not to Him. Not to Him. In 1 Thessalonians
1, Paul wrote, knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. How did Paul know that they were
elect? He tells us, for our gospel came not unto you in word only,
but also in power, and you became followers of us and of the Lord. But before we can know that,
before we can know the sweet assurance that we're one of God's
chosen, we're one of God's elect, chosen in Christ, this must take
place. Remember what our Lord said to
his disciples when he deliberately stayed away After receiving the
news that Lazarus was sick, our Lord stays away deliberately
until Lazarus dies. And he said, Lazarus is sleeping,
but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. The disciples said,
well, if he's sleeping, Lord, then he's doing okay. The Lord
said, Lazarus is dead. Lazarus is dead. Lazarus is dead. Sinners are dead in trespasses
and sins. And Jesus said to Martha, I am
the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die. Believest thou this? And his
word never returns void, does it? It accomplishes that for
which he sends it forth. Again in John 5, They shall hear
the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live."
Oh, thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift. Jesus Christ,
the resurrection and the life, He came to where we were dead
and spoke to our hearts and said, live, then, then, and then only,
not before then, then we believe, then we repent, then we're willing
to come to Jesus Christ, then we realize our need once he gives
us life, but never before then. My sheep, he said, hear my voice.
Well, how do we know we've heard the voice of God? What's the
evidence of hearing the voice of God? What's the proof that
I've heard the voice of God? Christ said, they follow me.
They follow me. Their following is proof that
they've heard his voice and that they've been called to life and
faith in Jesus Christ. Again, in John chapter 11, then
they took away the stone from the place where the dead was
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank
thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest
me always, but because of the people that stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he had
thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. That sounds so much better. Lazarus,
if you'll take the first step. Lazarus, if you'll make the first
move. Lazarus, my hands are tied unless you allow me. Oh no. With all the power of the great
God and Savior that he is, he says, Lazarus, come forth. And
the very next thing we read, and he that was dead came forth.
And so does every sinner. What happened to Lazarus literally
is what happens to every sinner spiritually when the Son of God
says to them, live, live, they come forth. They come forth,
as Paul tells us in Ephesians 2, but God, who is rich in mercy
for his great love with which he loved us even when we were
dead in sins, What part of salvation is all of grace? It all is. Thank God that it all is. Thank God that all the salvation
is of the Lord. The willingness to come, the
faith to believe, it's all of Him. Even when we are dead in
sins, have quickened, quickened, made alive, have quickened us
together with Christ. By grace you are saved. and have
raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus, that like as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so should we walk in newness
of life." We walk in newness of life. Paul says if any man
be in Christ, he's a new creation. God put something in him, the
very life of his son. And it shall never die. It shall
never die. And he's a new creation. He's
not made by anything in this world. He's not the product of
his own work, but a work of God's mighty grace. We're his workmanship. And Christ's sheep will follow
their shepherd all the way home. All the way home. The shepherd
will see to that, because he will not let them go. Bobby,
you and I were talking about this, I think, a couple weeks
ago. Jesus Christ refuses to let me come. It's not my hold
on him that keeps me, it's his hold on me. I'm in his hand,
that's why. It's not my grip on him, it's
his grip on me. Why I shall never perish, the
shepherd will see to it. These are they, we read in Revelation,
these are they, that multitude before the throne, these are
they which follow the Lamb, wheresoever he goeth. Can you put a price
on that? God's unspeakable gift. Oh, what's
the value of that? And the blood of Jesus Christ,
God's Son, cleanses us from all sin. What's that worth? What's
that worth? Having Christ, we can truthfully
sing, here's pardon for transgression past. It matters not how black
they're cast. And oh, my soul, with wonder
of you, for sins that come, here's pardon too. The Pharisees. hears that and says, oh, you
can't say that. You can't tell people that. They'll go out and
live like they want. They'll go out and sin. They will if
they're hypocrites. But if they're true children
of God, they'll endeavor to please God and walk as it pleases our
Lord and Savior. The last thing, remember, we
have all we have, all we need, we have by having God's unspeakable
gift. This is what we preached last
Sunday, Ephesians 1 and 3. Blessed, blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us. Oh, how he's
blessed us. With all spiritual blessings
and heavenly places in Christ. To whom he gives Christ, he freely
gives all these things. It's not so with temporal blessing,
is it? People may have health, but not
have wealth. Or they may have wealth and not
have health. But oh, when God gives us Jesus
Christ, He gives us the real riches, the riches of His grace. Paul goes on and speaks of them,
all these blessings, according as He has chosen us in Him. Imagine
that. Imagine that. My, so chosen in
Him. God, that's a humbling truth.
People say election gives you the big head. Oh, not if you're
tired of God. Not if you're tired of God. Oh,
it's a humbling truth. You telling me God chose me?
God chose me. Chosen in Him before the foundation
of the world that we should be holy and without blame before
Him in love, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will,
to the praise of the glory of His grace wherein He had made
us accepted, will never be unaccepted. He's made us accepted in the
Beloved, in whom we have redemption through His blood The forgiveness
of sins, oh, what's that worth? The forgiveness of sins according
to the riches of His grace. Oh, how sweet to view the flowing
of my Savior's precious blood with divine assurance knowing
He had made my peace with God. What's that worth? You can't
put a price on that. to lie down tonight and know
because of the Lord Jesus Christ I'm accepted by God and because
of Him I have peace with God? What's that word? What comfort
to hear God say to every sinner that believes on His Son, that
believes on Jesus Christ, when I see the blood Not when I see
your faithfulness. Not when I see what you deserve.
Oh no, when I see the blood, I'll pass over you. Can you imagine
how comforting it must have been to the children of Israel in
those homes in Egypt that night where the blood had been applied?
The blood of the Passover lamb. When they heard the screams without
where death visited every home except that one where the blood
had been applied. Moses said, God told Moses rather
tell them when I see the blood, I'll pass over you. When God declares that time shall
be no more, and he comes to judge this world in strict righteousness,
God says to every child of God, when I see the blood, I'm going
to pass over you. Oh, what comfort. Oh, thank,
what are the gifts which we enjoy at this moment, at this very
moment. There is, first of all, the forgiveness of sins according
to the riches of His grace. We're washed, washed in the blood
and clothed in the righteousness of the Son of God. Adopted, adopted
into the family of the eternal God and Father. Children, then
heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. There comes
to us by way of adoption all the provision, all the nurture,
all the care, all the love of our Heavenly Father that He gives
to His children. All things that are in the covenant,
whether things present or things that come, whether life or death,
all things are yours and you're Christ, and Christ is God, and
all these things come to us through Him and Him alone, God's unspeakable
gift. God, who spared not His own Son,
and in giving His Son to us, He also has freely given us all
things, all things, Your love had no beginning, the hymn writer
wrote. God, your love had no beginning, no cause in me was
found, that you should choose to save me, a sinner strongly
bound. But grace, not earned or sought
for, was purpose for my soul. For me salvation wrought, for
Christ paid the dreadful toll. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable
gift, the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Scott Richardson wrote
this brief article. Let me share it with you. It's
from Isaiah chapter 3, verse 10. Say ye to the righteous that
it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their
doings. Scott wrote, in spiritual things, all your temptations,
all your darkness, all your wonderings, God will overrule. It shall be
well with you. There shall never be a night
but that the morning shall come. There shall never be a day of
trouble, but a day of prosperity will follow. There shall never
be an emptying, but there shall be a filling. There shall never
be a bringing down, but he will bring you up again. Let it either
be darkness or light, sorrow or grief, night or day, life
or death, time or eternity, it shall be well with the righteous. The work which is goodness began,
the arm of his strength will complete. His promise is yea
and amen and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things
that are now, nor things below or above, can make him his purpose
forego or sever my soul from his love. I am his and he is
mine." James Smith. He pastored the church before
Spurgeon at New Park Street pulpit. He was there before Spurgeon
came. He wrote this comment on Psalm 71 verse 18, Now also when
I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not. I think most
of us can identify with that. James Smith wrote, Old age and
its infirmities will creep up on us, and with old age comes
weakness and pains and fears. I got a text the other day, last
week, about another friend that had gone on to glory, someone
I knew very well. And I thought to myself, man,
it just seems like about every month there's another, there's
another, there's another. And I thought to myself, who's
next? Who's going to be next? But an aged Christian should
be a happy person, for he has proved the Lord to be faithful
so many years. He has had answers to prayers
so many times. And the God of his youth stands
pledged never to leave nor forsake him. Will the Lord forsake an
old servant? Never. Will the Father of mercies
forsake one of his children when they're compassed about with
infirmities of old age? Impossible. No, no. The Lord
who has mourned with us so long will bear with us to the end.
The Lord who has glorified himself in our life will also give glory
to himself in our death. Mr. Smith offered this brief
prayer. Father in heaven, I thank you.
for the mercies of my life. Help me to trust you through
to the end of my life in spite of my weakness and human frailty."
And here's God's answer to that. Here's God's answer. And even
to your old age I am he. And even to whore hairs will
I carry you. I have made and I will bear,
even will I carry you and will deliver you. As we approach the
holidays, let us be thankful unto God. for his unspeakable
gift. He is forever only his, who the
Lord and me shall part. With what a rest of bliss Christ
can fill the loving heart. Heaven and earth may fade and
flee, firstborn light and gloom decline, but while God and I
shall be, I am his and he is mine. Think about that. But while God and I shall be,
I am his and he is mine. No wonder that poor widow woman
looked at that meager meal and said, all of this and Jesus Christ
too. Thank God for his unspeakable
gift. God bless you.
