Like so many of us, I also get caught up in the hussle of bussle of the holiday season, buying gifts, worrying about what to cook for the big dinner, etc. I feel that so much of the time, we are "caught" in the world's view of Christmas. How often do we simply stop and go back to what Christmas is really about? We tend to push Jesus back behind the gifts and the Christmas tree and only bring Him out if we need to. It's my desire that everyday be Christmas and that we all would never forget the wonder of His birth, His life, His death and His resurrection. May you find that joy in Him everyday of your life.
Santa lives at the North Pole... Jesus is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh... Jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa come but once a year... Jesus is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies... Jesus supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited... Jesus stands at your door and knocks, and enters your heart.
You have to wait in line to see Santa... Jesus is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap... Jesus lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?... Jesus knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our past and our future, He even knows our hearts and how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl of jelly... Jesus has a heart full of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness.
All Santa can offer is Ho Ho Ho... Jesus says, "Cast your cares on me for I care for you."
Santa's little helpers make toys... Jesus makes a new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but... Jesus gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree... Jesus became our gift and died on the tree, for you and me.
It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about. We need to put CHRIST back in Christmas, Jesus is still the reason for the season.
Yes, JESUS is better, He is even better than Santa Claus.
