Jesus & Santa

This was copied and pasted from another blogger, if you enjoy Santa Clause with your children I believe St. Nick was a great example of showing Gods love but still think this is really neat. :D
Santa Claus lives at the North Pole...JESUS is everywhere(Acts 15:8).Santa Claus rides in a sleigh...JESUS walks on the water(____). Santa Claus comes but once a year...JESUS is an ever present help(Ps. 46:1). Santa Claus fills your stockings with goodies... JESUS supplies all your needs(Philipians 4:19).Santa Claus comes down your chimney uninvited... JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited(Mttw.7:8). You have to wait in line to see Santa Claus...JESUS is as close as the mention of His name(Isaiah65:24). Santa Claus lets you sit on his lap...JESUS lets you rest in His arms(Mttw.11:28). Santa Claus 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(Ps. 139). Santa Claus has a belly like a bowl full of jelly...JESUS has a heart full of love(1 John 4:16). All Santa Claus can offer is HO HO HO...JESUS offers health, help and hope(Romans8:24;Mark1:34). Santa Claus says "You better not cry"...JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.(1Peter 5:7).Santa's little helpers make toys...JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions

(2 Corinthians 5:18). Santa Claus is a "jolly old elf"... JESUS is the King of Kings(Rev.19:6). Santa Claus may make you chuckle but...JESUS gives you joy that is your strength(Psalms). While Santa Claus puts gifts under your tree...JESUS became our gift and died on a tree.(Gospels)
Santa wants you to share toys...
Jesus wants you to share love and him and his Word.(Mttw.28:19)!!!


Merry CHRISTMAS!
