It should be a moment of deep sober reflection.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe should take out time in this season to evaluate ourselves and the society to see how much we have appreciated and promoted the salvation work of God.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gift of Jesus, whom we celebrate His birth during Christmas, is for reconciliation and salvation of mankind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gift of Jesus was borne out of love and is for all men, John 3:16. Therefore, let us take this season to reconcile with our maker and demonstrate love to one another as God did to us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ this year, let us be mindful of who we celebrate; what He represents and what He does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ani also appreciated Gov.
