Dimapur, Nov. 3 (EMN): Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF), Dibrugarh, celebrated Pre-Christmas at Naga Patient House, Dibrugarh, on November 3.
In his message, NCFD pastor Dr. Bendangwati Jamir impressed upon the believers that the kingdom of Christ is "build on the hearts of everyone with a selfless love and one that is boundless." He said that it is a kingdom not confined without military protection or confined to a race, territorial boundaries and no national treasures of gold and silver.
He referred to the birth of Jesus as one where anyone hardly took notice and His ministry as a rejection yet only flocked to see him perform and receive miracles and drifted away when the time came to arrest him.
"But even now, when Jesus knocks our hearts, we pushes him away and rather try to keep our decorations and warmth inside our houses. In reality, many people do not have room for Jesus,” NCFD update has quoted him as stated on Sunday.
He stated that the real spirit of celebrating Christmas is to show compassion to the homeless, poor and hungry people.
"Christmas is about the birth of Jesus who leaves a perfection of heaven and to enter into our fallen world of utter humiliation. The birth of Jesus shows us an almighty God searching for humankind in a form of servant king," the pastor added.
"Even if we don't see him in our midst, we can still do good works when we help our neighbours, it is incomplete without remembering them," he added.
Dr. Akhono, assistant professor of Dibrugarh University, chaired the programme while Samuel delivered the welcome address.
Lhiwepe Therie and Keneiseno Neihu, research scholars at Dibrugarh University compered the second session. The evening extravaganza saw carol singing competition, cake cutting, talent explosion and lucky draw.
