In  this sermon The Difference Between Santa And Jesus, both Jesus and Santa have a story which reveals who they are and what they stand for. When you compare the two stories, the difference between the two becomes very apparent. Santa is a wonderful old man who brings gifts to those who are good, but only to those who are good. If you cry or pout, If you’re nasty or bad; forget it, Santa is not coming to you. You see, Santa comes to those who are good. Jesus comes to those who are good and bad alike. What is revealed in the story of Jesus is that Christmas is not about our goodness, but about God’s goodness.

Jesus’ story reveals the love of God, which is prior to any of our merits and present despite all our sins. [Read less]
