DIMAPUR, DEC 12 (NPN): Nagaland legislators celebrated Advent Christmas at State Banquet Hall (New), CMRC, Kohima on December 12, 2020.
According to an official bulletin, Nagaland Governor, RN Ravi, who also participated in the Nagaland Legislators Christian Fellowship (NLCF) pre- Christmas celebrations along with his wife, wished a very merry Christmas to the people of Nagaland.
Hailing Mahatma Gandhi as one of the greatest disciples of Jesus, the governor recalled how the Sermons on the Mount touched Gandhi’s heart and awakened in him the purity and power of Truth and Non-violence which became the cardinal principles of his personal and public life and liberated India from the colonial rule.
Reminding the legislators that they were the chosen people, Ravi urged them to be conscious of their responsibility of bringing enduring peace to the suffering people of Nagaland in true Christian spirit of truth and non-violence and be the blessed peacemaker.
He emphasised on the eventual invincibility of truth which could be temporarily eclipsed by the lies of vested interests but never extinguished.
Kethoser Kevichüsa, who was the speaker, said that peace was one thing that everyone was longing for at this juncture. “Peace will never come to us unless we first forgive and make ourselves peace with the Lord Saviour Jesus Christ,” Kevichüsa said. He urged the gathering to forgive others “in the name of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ and let peace be in our midst taking the advantage of forthcoming Christmas.”
On the occasion, minister higher education, technical education and tribal affairs, Temjen Imna Along delivered Christmas greetings while advisor urban development & municipal affairs, Dr. Neikiesalie Kire presented a special number.
Legislators along with their wives also presented special number. Harmonic Voices and MAK also presented special numbers during the service.
State Chaplain, Rev. T.W. Yamyap Konyak was the leader while Khyochano TCK was the pianist during the service.
