Jesus is the Reason

[motor]

[/align][/align]Jesus is Better than Santa
[/align]Santa lives at the North Pole.
[/align]JESUS is everywhere.
[/align]Santa rides in a sleigh
[/align]JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
[/align]Santa comes but once a year
[/align]JESUS is an ever present help.
[/align]Santa fills your stockings with goodies
[/align]JESUS supplies all your needs.
[/align]Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
[/align]JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
[/align]You have to stand in line to see Santa
[/align]JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
[/align]Santa lets you sit on his lap
[/align]JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
[/align]Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
[/align]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.
[/align]Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
[/align]JESUS has a heart full of love.
[/align]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 joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the 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.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008
And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.
God bless you all

That's a nice post and reminder.

But it's up to us to put Christ back in Christmas in our own lives and remember what Christmas is all about. We can complain that the secular world tends to denigrate our Festival of the Nativity. But we need to remind ourselves that the early Christians were tortured and executed for their beliefs.

So when we hear about "Holiday Trees" and store clerks tell us "Happy Holiday" we should keep in mind how easy we have it.

Our problem is that we tend to take our Faith for granted.

May The Sheep Be With Y'all

AMEN motor!


DLG, you need to remember that our faith is a God given right and not a constitutional right.

[The Rev]

What did I say that would give the impression that I think otherwise?

Without Christ, all you've got is a big MESS!
