Christmas morning is such an exciting time and when you see a gift under the tree with your name on it - how many of us would ever open half a gift?  Like just take the wrapping off and be satisfied?  That would be silly!  We wouldn’t think of doing that ... would we?  That would be like having knowledge of the gift but never experiencing the fullness and joy of it.

Reflecting on the birth of Jesus - the apostle Paul unwraps the entire gift that God gave at Christmas so that our joy will be full and we’ll know God and experience the kind of family relationship with Him that He invites us to!
