Matt Hosier preached on this subject at Alder Road. He says,

“If you understand God – what Jesus has done, and will do; the awesome majesty of the Father – then you are not going to worry so much about money! Christmas often minimizes Jesus. We see images of the crib and the cattle. We sing away in a manger. But Paul wants us to lift our gaze. He wants us to see the indescribable greatness of God, and live like a Christian.”
