2 Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
Jesus is God’s indescribable gift! Heaven itself is nothing, as compared with Him!
If a man had to wade chest deep through a thousand Hells to obtain Christ–it would be well worth the venture, if at the last he might but say: “My Beloved is mine–and I am His!”
Jesus is so precious, that He cannot be matched! There is none like Him. The most lovely of the lovely–are vile and deformed, when compared with Him. As Rutherford would say, “Black sun, black stars–but O bright, infinitely bright Lord Jesus!”
If you ransacked time and space; eternity and immensity–you could find none that could even be compared unto Him–He is so precious! He is all that your souls can desire; yes, He Himself is ALL.
You could not buy Christ for any price–if you gave the price of Heaven and earth for Him.
“Yes, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend!” Song of Solomon 5:16

THE VALUE OF CHRIST!
Philippians 3:8, “I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ!”
Eternity alone can reveal the value of Christ!
By the miseries of the Hell from which He saves us–let us measure Him!
By the bliss of the Heaven to which He lifts us–let us estimate His worth!
And By the depths of ignominy and shame into which He dived–let us appraise Him!
By the glories He relinquished and by the agonies He bore–let us attempt to form some faint idea of His value!
“To you who believe, He is precious!” 1 Peter 2:7
