Consider. Jesus, our Savior, is:
- Incomparable– without equal or rival (Psalm 86:8)
- Incomprehensible– beyond understanding or knowing; unfathomable (Romans 11:33)
- Indescribable– exceeding words to characterize (Jeremiah 10:6-7)
- Indisputable— incontestable (Isaiah 40:13-14)
- Inestimable– of incalculable value (Psalm 145:3)
- Inexhaustible– incapable of being used up or consumed or becoming tired (Revelation 1:8; Psalm 121:3)
- Infallible– cannot fail or even make a mistake (Psalm 145:17)
- Invariable– never-changing (Hebrews 13:8)
- Invisible (John 1:18)
And those nine descriptors only begin to define Jesus. No matter how many fancy, multi-syllable words we might collect, the attributes of God’s Son are beyond full comprehension.
And he is God’s gift to us.

Oh, Jesus, how we thank you for giving up the splendor of heaven and the glory of your deity, to take on human form and become our Savior. How incomprehensible that you could love such pitiful creatures as mankind.
Nevertheless you came so that we, too, could become God’s sons and daughters. Even more incredible, many of the descriptors above will be true of us—on that day when you appear again, and we shall be like you.
(Philippians 2:6-7; John 3:16; Romans 8:29; 1 John 2:2)

From the Inside Out 
Nancy, you are so right! There are many words to describe the gift of Jesus, yet He is still indescribable. Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Tresa. And a blessed Christmas to you and your family, too!
Just beautiful This could be a Christmas card or book mark! Merry Christmas, Nancy. One of my best gifts this year was meeting you in person.
Thank you for your creative ideas, Jean. And I couldn’t agree more about the delight of meeting face to face this fall, even spending a bit of one on one time together! How gracious God is to make such an unlikely event actually come to pass. Love to you, dear friend, and a Christmas blessing for equal parts of peace and joy!
I absolutely love this! It reminds me of the list of the many names of our Savior found in Isaiah 9:6 (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace).
And may I add ‘incorruptible’; example when Satan tried to tempt Him in the wilderness.
Incorruptible is a very worthy addition, Cheri! And that reminds me of Handel’s Messiah again, the aria based on 1 Corinthians 15:52! 🙂
Amen.
So glad you agree, Gary. May 2018 be a year of purpose and fulfillment for you.
