Dear Santa

Saw this in a catalog recently (yes, recently!...and it is still August!) and it made me just roll my eyes--what a culture we live in!  And yet, don't we do this in our heart of hearts with our Almighty God?

In so many ways we just cannot listen to God's Word as it discusses our sin and how pervasive and deadly it is...so we prefer to look around and feel better about ourselves as we deem ourselves to be better than the next person.  But God does not "grade" on a curve!  However the hope of the Gospel is this...God may not grade on a curve, but He grades on a CROSS!  As believers in Jesus, we can be declared righteous (justification) and be ushered into God's presence and spend eternity with Him!  Praise be to Him!
