Some better news for Christmas

You’d better watch out … there’s some better news at Christmas.

This is John Piper from Desiring God. I often enjoy listening to his weekly messages via podcast.

He asks if you try to connect with God the Santa Claus way or the Jesus way.

The Santa way says,

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town.

The Jesus way says,

“I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10:15).
“Whoever comes to me I will never cast out” (John 6:37).
