Why Jesus is Better Than Santa Claus

Santa lives at the North Pole
Jesus is everywhere.

Santa rides a sleigh,
Jesus rides 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 innovated,
Jesus stands at your door and knocks,
and then enters your heart.

Santa lets you sit on his lap,
Jesus lets you rest in his arms.

Santa doesn't even know your name,
he just says, "hi little boy or girl".
Jesus knew our name before we did,
not only our name, but address too.
He knows our history, future and even
how many hairs are on our head.

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, hope.

Santa says "you better not cry",
Jesus says "cast all your cares on me,
for I care for you"

Santa's helpers make toys,
Jesus makes a new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle,
Jesus gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree,
Jesus becomes your gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there's really no comparison.
We need to remember Who Christmas is all about.
We need to put the Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason. Yes, Jesus is better.
He is even better than Santa Claus.

Merry CHRISTmas
