In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, it's easy to lose sight of its true essence—faith in Jesus Christ. Just like Charlie in 'The Santa Clause,' we often grapple with believing in something we cannot see. Society casts doubt on Jesus' existence, making us question our faith. But true faith means believing without seeing. This Christmas, challenge yourself to live out your faith genuinely. Reflect on areas where you doubt Jesus' power and take steps to deepen your relationship with Him.

Bible Verse:'Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' - John 20:29

This Christmas, let go of doubts and embrace a childlike faith that believes in Jesus wholeheartedly.

Just as Scott Calvin had to let go of his old self to become Santa, we must put off our old selves and be made new in Christ. This involves getting rid of bitterness, anger, and malice, and embracing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. This Christmas, let Jesus transform you by renewing your mind and heart.

Bible Verse: 'You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds.' - Ephesians 4:22-23
