What Would Jesus Say to Santa (138)

December 20, 2022

In Episode 138, we continue with the last part of our Christmas series. We not only devote the whole month of December to celebrate Christmas but also to evangelize. Every Christian, not Santa, is responsible for keeping Christ at the center of Christmas. Therefore, whether we accomplish our goals by giving or singing, our attention should always be fixed on God's love and the glory of His Son.


God is against human efforts to steal His glory for themselves via ritual or tradition. It's not Santa. In my opinion. Glory is bestowed upon whatever one chooses. You may lay the blame on non-Christian marketing corporations all across the globe, but the fact remains that Santa serves as a constant reminder to give and a means to keep Christ's name in the spotlight.


Tune in now, and let’s go bigger, better, and deeper!
