Joy Unspeakable

Joy Unspeakable- Incapable of being expressed with words

All kinds of things people are doing these days for entertainment and laughter, from television, gaming, social media clips, even the one guy who has made it big with online videos called unspeakable. Challenges, pranks and experiences done in real life for others to see that they would hopefully laugh and have happiness while watching these videos. Many time this laughter and happiness comes at the expense of someone else’s exposure.

All these things are just a temporary remedy and kinda alter what real life and its challenges bring.

For the Christian God has given us so many gifts and blessings and this one gift I want to talk about today is joy. Truly a gift God has given through His Son and for us incapable of being expressed with words. Its joy unspeakable.

The promise of the coming of Christ to the Gentiles in Galilee “those who walk in darkness will see a great light” spoken by Isaiah the prophet

For the Jews under roman government oppression in hope of the coming Messiah promised by the prophets and to finally have peace.
