Describe Jesus Christ--call Him a teacher, a prophet, a good man, the Son of God--but whatever your beliefs, at some point, you will exhaust the capabilities of the English language, or any language, to fully portray the wonders and mysteries of His Being. To the born-again Christian, He is truly indescribable. He is more, He means more, than human language can adequately express.

We know, without qualification, that He is the Son of God, the One able to meet every human need. But we must present Him to our world in understandable, graspable words so each human being has opportunity to know Him. And we must answer His call. For He Himself has commissioned each Christian to proclaim His Name throughout all the earth.

Then where do we start? At the only place we know--the alphabet, from A to Z! Even then, at our very best, we can only attempt to describe Him in the human languages we know. For He is indeed, the Indescribable, Wonderful, Magnificent Christ!
