Why Jesus is Better Than Santa Claus

By Rev. James Spellman of Ohio

*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.

*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 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 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 a joy that is your strength.

*While Santa puts gifts under your tree... JESUS became our gift and died on the tree, which is the cross.


Its obvious there is really no comparison! Jesus is still the reason for the season. Yes, Jesus is better, he is even better than Santa Claus.

(i found this online.)
=)))))

deep calleth unto the deep.

a deeper level with God.
a greater passion
a more intense hunger
I want.

If I would run, it's not away from You or away from reality,
let it not be so anymore,
let it be a pursuit after You.

Reality is not harsh and it is not full of trouble or problems as the world paints it.
Reality is where Jesus is.
For HE IS REAL.
All of this is not just what I dream of or conjured up in my mind; for
I've seen His works
I've tasted His goodness
I've experienced His overwhelming love
I've dwelled in His presence
=)
so I know.
I know You are REAL.
and I know You love me.
and I know You see me more than what I am right now.
=DDD

now that we are back.
it's time, we live this reality. =)
Live the culture of Christ.

I will search. and I'll find You LORD.

"Then you will call upon Me ad go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity."
Jeremiah 29:12-14

无论是住在,美丽的高山.
或是躺卧在,阴暗的幽谷.
当你抬起头,你将会发现.
主已为你我而预备.

云上太阳,它总不改变,
虽然小雨撒在你脸上.
云上太阳,它总不改变,
哈~~它不改变!

Like the sun that never cease to rise each morning, Your faithfulness in us never cease.
Great is thy faithfulness O LORD!
If we place our hopes in man, our assets, our money, they are bound to fail and disappoint us.
but because LORD, you are the same yesterday, today and forever more!
You never change!
And the hope that we have in You, will carry us through everything and anything!
A hope set in things above, in heaven.
Looking towards not just a better tommorrow, but eternity with Jesus Christ.
