...If there is one outstanding thing that characterizes gifts that men and
governments give to each other, it would be this: They can all be described...

...As Paul contemplated the bountiful blessings he’d received from the hand
of the Lord, which indeed all members of the Body of Christ enjoy, he was
overwhelmed with emotion. Consequently, it is with a true sense of gratitude
that the apostle says,

“Thanks be unto God for His Unspeakable Gift” (II Cor. 9:15)...​

...unspeakable here in the original language has the idea of that which is
inexpressible or indescribable. There should be little question here that
Christ Himself is the Indescribable Gift of God. What mere mortal could
ever begin to plumb the depths of the Person and Work of Christ?
For example, Paul states,

“For ye know the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He Was
Rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty
might be rich” (II Cor. 8:9).​

This particular passage prompts us to ask three questions based on Paul’s
chronology here in II Corinthians 8:9: When was Christ Rich? When did He
become poor? And in what sense are we rich?...

No doubt Jesus is a gift from God, but in itself for us it is not the real gift but it is the results of that gift that is of value to us Grace. Rom 6:23 Jesus is a gift only to those who benefit by him, but will prove to be a plague to those who do not accept him.
