I was reminded this week of a great truth from the following quote: “Nothing but Jesus can satisfy the soul.” This is attributed to George Whitefield (1714–1770, English Anglican preacher and evangelist who was used by God to inspire the First Great Awakening and Methodism with John Wesley which greatly influenced Britain and the 13 American Colonies between the 1730s and 1770s).

The late Pastor Tim Keller said this: “If Jesus rose from the dead, they you have to accept all that He said; if He didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what He said?

It seems that very few things should be able to fit the description of this adjective. As we enter into the Christmas season, we are reminded of the one thing that defies description and that is Jesus Christ.
