Bible Question: In a Bible discussion last night, a lady at our church said she didn't see anything wrong with teaching children to believe in Santa Clause. She thinks that it is harmless fun. I know this isn't the Christmas season, but I am interested to know how members of the forum would address this practice of including Santa Clause in the teaching of the birth of Christ during the Christmas season. What do you tell your children when asked about Santa Clause? I look foward to your response? Thank you for your time. JAL |
Bible Answer: hello jalanlambert Below I have attached an article I found quite a few years ago. Just thought I would post it, so you and others can enjoy it. "Why JESUS IS BETTER THAN SANTA CLAUS" 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. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited... JESUS stands at your door and knocks, and then enters you heart. 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 heads. 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 joy that is your strength. While Santa puts gifts under your tree... JESUS became our gift and died on the tree. Neat, huh? |
