Jesus is our life

Not so long ago, I was watching a movie. This movie was talking about fairy tales. The one thing in the movie that caught my attention was that the mother was having a conversation with the another friend, rejecting the friend's help who wanted to tell the mother's little child who Santa Claus really was, for fear that the little child would not believe in Santa Claus and losing his only belief in fairy tales. Thus, losing his childhood good childhood memory. The little child was very much believe in Santa Claus' existance & thus, would made him living up in his fairy tales dream. Mind you, these people are Christian family who believes in Jesus Christ.

I am very sad to know that this are the kind of life of the world we are living right now. Living in a life where fairy tale characters such as Easter Bunny, Santa Claus & Tooth Fairy came to their life when the children were young and it became their main childhood belief. I mean whatever mould the child when they were young determines their life in future as they grow up. There are even some, where when they grow up, still believes in Santa Claus. I always wondered why would a parent do not want to tell their children to know who these characters really are. I mean the truth about them. Instead they would find all ways to stop people from telling their children the truth. I was told that they want their children to live up a good childhood fairy tale-life.

I do agreed that the children needs to hold on unto someone besides their parent when they grew up. They cannot only hold on unto their parent alone since their parent are not perfect. They need someone who are perfect and who are able to help them in walk in this journey of life. The person they need is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is someone so real to us, yet He is a God. Why would we opt for temporary belief for our childhood life like Santa Claus whereas we can actually
go and believe in what is permanent, Jesus Christ? Mind you again, a lot of these child believer of Santa Claus came from Christian family. These childrens are young and looking for a role model to hold onto. But where in the world can a characters like Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy can actually help them go through life? Everybody remembers Santa Claus every once a year which is Christmas & Tooth Fairy would be remembered when you lose a teeth. Other than that, who else can guide and lead us?

Only Jesus Christ who are able to lead and guide us when Christmas came by or when we lose out teeth. In fact, only Jesus Christ can lead and guide us throughout our 365 days and from our childhoo life up to our old age. He is the Alpha and Omega. The One and Only Person who can be there for us, despite our good and bad. Our happy or sad. Our loneliness or happiness. So cling on Him throughout our whole life. If we live up to 80 years old, we cling on up to 80 years old. In fact teach our children to do the same. Not just we cling, our children does that too. In fact our generation should start clinging on Him. To make our generation cling on Him, it starts from us and our time for Him. As we started to cling on Him, we will want our children to cling on Him. You may asked how. Well introduce Jesus Christ to your children as they were still an infant. You do not have to inform who Santa Claus, Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy really are. They would know it themselves since they had experience Jesus Christ during their infant age. Encourage them to continue knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. Children received a lot of information very fast when they were still very young. With their growth in the Lord stronger each other, they would be able to differentiate the right to the wrong easier. So build yourself up in the Lord and let Him build us up. God bless.. =)
