It's not about eggs and bunnies or other tie-ins to pagan fertility gods. It's not about one who gives gifts if we are not naughty; Santa god--the false god we create to make us feel better about ourselves as we outperform others doing nice things or being nice. Instead the One True God has a very different plan for us; one that we did not invent.
God desires that we become holy. We are supposed to be holy, as and because He is. We usually are not. We may want to be, but often have a good desire but a hypocritical heart and our fleshly, self-willed egos keep us far from purity and righteousness. We miss the mark. We aim at the wrong target or fall short. Often we merely rebel.
Our fallen-ness keeps us less than holy. Instead of 'holy' we are just 'ho'. Ho, Ho, Ho. Like Santa's laugh, we are the trinity of imperfection. We are just a bunch of messed up half-holy's. We are partially there. That partial is very far from His holiness. We serve our idol's well and our God, not so well. Partial holiness just makes us prostitutes of imperfection.
Isn't it time to die to the flesh as baptism represents and let Christ live through us. That, alone, can make us holy. Go to Jesus. Pursue, love and worship Him. Quit playing church. Quit play acting the role of a disciple. We must not be actors. It must be real as we spend time worshipping the King in His throne room so we can live out authentic, real and holy faith in our daily earthly existence.
Go hide with God. Get to know Him in solitude in a secret place. Let Him transform you and make you holy. The world is waiting. And so is God.
