WHY IS JESUS BETTER THAN SANTA CLAUS?<\/strong><\/p>\nSanta lives at the North Pole …
\nJesus is everywhere.<\/p>\n
Santa rides in a sleigh …
\nJesus rides on the wind and walks on the water. <\/p>\n
Santa comes but once a year.
\nJesus is an ever present help. <\/p>\n
Santa fills your stockings with goodies …
\nJesus supplies all your needs. <\/p>\n
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited …
\nJesus stands at your door and knocks, and enters your heart. <\/p>\n
You have to wait in line to see Santa …
\nJesus is as close as the mention of His name. <\/p>\n
Santa lets you sit on his lap …
\nJesus lets you rest in His Arms. <\/p>\n
Santa doesn’t know your name, all he can say is “Hi, little boy or girl, what’s your name?”…
\nJesus knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our history and future, and He even knows our hearts and how many hairs are on our heads. <\/p>\n
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly …
\nJESUS has a heart full of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness. <\/p>\n
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO …
\nJESUS says, “Cast your cares on me for I care for you.” <\/p>\n
Santa may make you chuckle but ..
\nJESUS gives you joy that is your strength. <\/p>\n
While Santa puts gifts under your tree …
\nJESUS became our gift and died on the tree, for you and me.
\nIt’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.
\nYes, JESUS is better, He is even better than Santa Claus. <\/p>\n
