The concept of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the Holy Bible, where it represents a fundamental aspect of God’s people. In both the Old and New Testaments, Thanksgiving emphasizes gratitude and praise to God for His many blessings.

The Apostle Paul wrote this: “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15). We have a lot to be thankful for this year, and it is good and right for us to thank God for spouses, kids, jobs, and health. But when Paul says, “We thank God for his indescribable gift!” he’s talking about something specific. Actually, Someone specific. He isn’t thanking God for things (though he could, and in other places in the New Testament, he did); rather, he is thanking God for Jesus.
