Dispelling the Myth of Santa Claus

Dispelling The Myth Of Santa Claus (Putting CHRIST back in Christmas)

As many of us grew up knowing, we believe there was such a person who comes every Christmas (December 25th) with presents for good children and lumps of coal for the naughty ones. We all would therefore then work so hard every day of the year to just please this person that we were brought up to believe existed and that he really would bring us all the gifts we wanted. We were also taught to write a letter to Santa Claus and to send it to his address in the North Pole where he would read our letters and grant us our wish list.

What a sad sad lie that we've been told my dear friends and readers of this blog. We have been deceived to believe that Santa Claus was also known as St. Nicholas who was a bishop of Myra, dating back to the fourth century. The King James has several references that teaches us that we should not be deceived and I feel led to share one of these verses with you to consider and/or to focus on and it's my prayer that you can see the truth for yourself.

1 John 4:1 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

As the above verse advises to do, we are not believe every spirit but try them and see whether they are of God or not. It is so important that we should not teach our children to believe in all these false stories of Santa Claus because they deserve to know the truth.

Then there's also a big focus on materialism and blowing big money on lavish gifts . The meaning of giving to those in need (out of love) is also losing its' meaning in this prosperous world where most of us reside in and little thought is given to those who are in need even those who are in the very heart of the center of where we live.

Proverbs 19:17 "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again."

Isn't that such a wonderful promise of what the Lord has given to us? He wants us to remember that we that has pity upon the poor, we can lend it to them unto the Lord, and that for those of us who given to them, He will pay us again.

But I can't end this message without what the Lord really desires me to do which is to make mention of how as a Christian, I would like to put CHRIST back into Christmas.

This is the Holy Bible's account of how Christ came into the world via the miracle conception that His mother Mary encountered and that she was the chosen one to give birth to Him.

Matthew 1:18: "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."

Matthew 1:21: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

My Lord Jesus is the reason for this Christmas season, He came to this Earth in human form, so He may know our feelings, our thoughts and our cares of the world. But, He is the almighty Savior and He loves us very much. There are people who feel they must fill their lives with all the latest gadgets, the fastest car(s), the largest house, but the Lord tells us not to focus on these things.

Please consider to follow the Lord today, and know in your heart that You know where Your soul will be after you passed from this earth. Please fill your hearts with joy and also with the spirit of Jesus in you and to remember others during this season whether it be friends, family or even a stranger in need. It's my prayer that you have or will have Christ in your Christmas this year and always. <3
