Things we'll wish we'd done differently

Hey, it's me...The Diceman. This article really challenged me today.

Why Jesus is better than Santa

Why Jesus is Better than Santa


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 your heart.

You have to stand 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.

It's obvious there is really no comparison. We need to remember WHO
Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back into Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

think the Diceman would make a good little drummer boy? Or maybe an
old drummer boy?
