Santa is Coming

MARCH 9 2026 Santa is Coming

(Continued from March 6) Imagine having the faith to believe for anything. Especially the Santa Claus kind of faith. We behaved because we knew Santa was coming to town and we were good because we knew he gave the best presents to all the good girls and boys. Imagine that kind of faith. Where it moved you to action and made you see only good in the world. I had that once. It's why my adult life has been mainly depressing, discouraging, difficult, and disappointing. Once the world no longer held it's charm I was baffled. I didn't wake up with the expectation of miracles every day. I realized there was no magic in the world and anything I got I was going to have to work for. The reason believers long for and look forward to the coming of the Lord is because we know it'll be all over. Why shouldn't we long to see our best friend take control of the planet? All fear is gone. All trepidation is gone. The difference between Santa Claus and Jesus is that Jesus rose from the dead. Ole Saint Nick is still in the grave. He's just a legend now. Jesus could go around dropping off presents for everyone in the world and we could all wake up one morning to find all our hearts desires wrapped up in a bow, but he won't. He could but he won't. That's not how life works. That's not how God works. God established laws and he expects us to follow those laws and he said if we do, then we'll have what we need and what we want. Because it says those who delight in the Lord will be granted the desire of their heart. And those who delight in the Lord only desire to spend eternity with Jesus. Wish granted!
