Delta state Governor Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, on Thursday evening, called on Christians to see Christmas celebration as a unique opportunity for sober reflection on the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Governor Okowa who made the call during the festival of nine lessons and carols organised by the state government at the cenotaph, Asaba, to usher in the Christmas, said Christmas should be a time to accept Jesus as Lord and personal saviour rather than partying.
According to him, the Christmas season should be used to reflect on the mission of Jesus whom, he said, brought redemption to mankind from eternal damnation, adding that no gift can be offered to God more than accepting Jesus as the Saviour of mankind.
