TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Describe some of the Christmas presents under your tree.

How are they packaged? What colors are the arches?

The wrapping paper, ribbons and bows are used for decorating. How would you like to get a bow for Christmas? Just an arch?

MAKE IT SPIRITUAL

What are some things we think about when we think about Christmas?

Christmas is not about the decorations. It's about the gift. At Christmas come a lot of decorations - There are the Christmas trees; there are Christmas lights, carols, candy canes, angels, nativity scenes, Christmas cards, Christmas bows, wrapping paper and even Santa and elves. But, like a Christmas bow, these are just the decorations. They are not the most important thing about Christmas. Christmas is about the greatest gift - it's about Jesus.

It's sad that so many people enjoy all the Christmas wrapping and decorations, but they have forgotten about the gift.

Read the Christmas story from the Bible:

Matthew 1: 18-25; Matthew 2: 1-12; Luke 1: 26-38; Luke 2: 1-20.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

How many of you never open your presents at Christmas? You just leave them under the tree with all the shells, never to discover what's inside. Many people enjoy all the beauty of Christmas, but they missed the Christ at Christmas. The gift of Jesus, of peace with God, of salvation is never received and remains just something to look at or just another adornment.

Unless Jesus is received into our hearts, the gift can just as well remain under the tree as an unopened gift.

Let your light shine so that people will know that the true gift of Christmas is not in all decorations, but in Jesus.
