Jesus: The little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger born in a stable was not just Christ the Messiah of the Jews nor was He just Jesus the Savior of the world but: He is the Lord of the universe! Jesus is the reason for the season. Christmas is about SC ... the Sovereign Christ not 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 stuffs something in a sock – Jesus supplies all of your needs. Santa comes down your chimney uninvited – Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks and enters when you say, “Come in.” You have to wait in line to see Santa – Jesus is as close as the mention of His name. Santa awkwardly makes 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 little girl.” – Jesus knew your name before you did. Santa has a belly full of jelly – Jesus has a heart full of love. All Santa can do is “Ho, ho, ho.” – Jesus offers help, health 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 broken, wounded hearts; repairs broken homes; builds mansions in heaven. Santa may make you laugh – Jesus gives you everlasting joy. Santa puts gifts under your tree – Jesus became our gift and died on a tree. Friend there is no comparison. Christmas is not about Santa Christmas is about a Savior Christmas is not about gifts Christmas is about grace Jesus will always be the reason for the season because Jesus is Lord. Christmas night was a holy night because on that night the only One in the entire universe who could save us, Jesus Christ the Lord, was born. When you crown Him as the Lord of your life, that one holy night means every day will be holy for you.
