The Truth in
Christmas
Santa Claus does not see you when you are
sleeping
He does not know when you’re awake
Santa Claus does not know when you’ve been bad
or good
He is not watching out for you and me
Psalm 33:18-22
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them
that hope in his mercy; 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to
keep them alive in famine. 20
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our
help and our shield. 21 For
our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon
us, according as we hope in thee.
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and
fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
Santa Claus is not making a list
He is not checking it twice
Santa Claus is not gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Revelation 20:11-15
And I saw a great white throne, and
him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them. 12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were
opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things
which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast
into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.
Santa Claus is not waiting for that special
day
He is not on his way
Santa Claus is not coming to town
Luke 2:1-16
And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be
taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when
Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of
David:) 5 To be taxed with
Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room
for them in the inn. 8 And
there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. 9
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying, 14 Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye
believe in God, believe also in me. 2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it
were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself; that where I am, there ye
may be also.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But I would not have you to be
ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even
as others which have no hope. 14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep
in Jesus will God bring with him. 15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord
shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: 17
Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Matthew 1:18-23
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. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a
publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the
angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in
her is of the Holy Ghost. 21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins. 22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord
by the prophet, saying, 23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Luke
19:9-10
And Jesus said unto him, This day
is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to
seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke
4:16-21
And he came to Nazareth, where he
had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he
had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to
preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to
set at liberty them that are bruised, 19
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them
that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears.
