James 1:17 (ESV)
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or
shadow due to change.
1. Santa
is a pretty cool guy! I have nothing against the guy in the red suit, but I
thought this morning I would share a few reasons why I think Jesus is way
better than Santa. Jesus doesn’t give out coal. The great thing about Jesus is
that He doesn’t give bad gifts, like coal. He only gives the best gifts; you
know the ones the non-coal type. Jesus has your best interests at heart and is
all about giving you awesome gifts. So no matter what you are in need of this
Christmas season, Jesus has your answer!
2. Santa
gifts last a year or two but Jesus’ gifts last forever. There’s lots of awesome
gifts that you can get from Santa. Many times, those toys might be really great
when you first get them, but after a while, you usually outgrow them or they go
out of style. Jesus, on the other hand gives gifts that never wear out or get
outdated. The gifts Jesus gives are ones that you can enjoy for the rest of
your life!
3. Talking
to Santa lasts a few months, but talking to Jesus lasts a lifetime. The great
thing about Jesus is that you are able to talk to Him at any time. He’s there
and ready to listen. You don’t have to wait until the Christmas season and find
him at a department store to talk to Him. You can talk to Jesus at any time and
in any place, and He’s ready to listen.
Jesus has got Santa beat when it comes to Christmas
awesomeness. Where Santa is lacking, Jesus has got him covered. Jesus desires
nothing more than getting to know you better this Christmas season. So in the
middle of your time off from school and eating your weight in candy canes, take
some time to think about all the good things that Jesus has done for you, and
be sure to thank Him for being way better than Santa!
Dear Lord, we thank You for being way better than Santa. Help
us remember this Christmas season the many things You do for us and share that with
others. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
