Have you ever seen a baby more excited about the box and the wrapping than the actual present? Christmas can feel like that sometimes. It can become a time when people get all wrapped up in the tinsel, eggnog, Christmas trees and gift-giving and forget the actual gift.
In comparison to Christ and the value of his gift, the trappings of this world are garbage. As Paul said in Philippians 3:8,
“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.”
So, this Christmas, seek the true gift of Jesus Christ.
Always Reforming 
Thank you for this reminder dear brother. We always need to hear and remind ourselves of the true gift of God to mankind, His Son. May we be ever thankful and have him at the center of all that we say and do.
Colossians 3:1-4
