As the Christmas Day, the Holy Nativity is knocking at the door of every Christian Home throughout the world; I on behalf of the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) extend my solemn Christmas Greetings to our people and to all fellow Christians of races. May the Holy Spirit visit us all and reside in our hearts.
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (St. Luke 2:11)
‘‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (St. John 3:16)
God, the creator of the universe had made us all in His own image and He has freely given us all of His creations. God has given us His only begotten son, Christ the Saviour to redeem us from the deaths of sin. Thus Christ Jesus the King of kings and the Prince of peace came on earth in incarnation and He was crucified on the cross for the sins of mankind. Wherefore we could have saved from the grave of sin by His death and Holy blood.
The love of God Almighty is so great and wonderful. Christmas Day is the union of Heaven and Earth. Christmas Day is the salvation for every souls of mankind and nothing is greater than this. To this we have now become the heirs of God, our heavenly Father.
Countrymen, God the creator of all has so lovingly given us a blessed land with national sovereignty and freedom to serve Him as a nation in this world of ours. Therefore it is our bounden responsibility to resist and exist it together this precious gift of the loving God. But we have lived the life of sin and committed all sorts of sin. We have gone astray and worked against the will of God. Therefore let us now leave the life of sin and violence. Let us love one another as Christ commanded us and make our land, Nagaland a land of peace and harmony. So that we can build up a prosperous nation for Christ.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas, 2011 and a Happy New Year, 2012.
