WHY JESUS IS BETTER THAN SANTA CLAUS

In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

WHY JESUS IS BETTER THAN SANTA CLAUS

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 comes 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 then enters your heart, when invited.

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 address too.   He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ...    JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO ...    JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry" ...    JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys ...    JESUS makes 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 a tree.

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 so much better than Santa Claus!
