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 stocking 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, hope, and happiness!

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!

I'm glad you posted this. Did you type it all out or did you copy from somewhere? Man, you've been doing a LOT of typing this semester!:) Anyhow, I had that poem way back in my Paramount Farms (pre-Ethan) days. What a nice thing to see again. I need to see if the recent Blackhawk sermon has the pre-sermon story. It would tie into this nicely. Let me go see...It does! You both should SEE (not just audio) 12/16 "Joy".

It was sent to me by a coworker. All this typing has helped me keep my sanity this semester. We're both glad that you guys are liking Blackhawk so much. Whenever I see Blackhawk I think of the movie Blackhawk Down, an intense action war movie.
