Parish Priest of Saints Peter and Paul Parish in the Catholic Diocese of Torit Kamilo Afore said the name of Jesus is above all names in the world because He is the chosen one sent to save man from sins.
He asked Christians to come closer to Christ as the Savoir of the universe, Radio Emmanuel reports.
‘The scripture here tells us that He is better than all Angels like the name He inherited. The name of Jesus is better than all names and he is also better than all Angels. God has not named any angel as chosen one, but Jesus Christ alone whom He says my son. Today we are truly the sons and daughters of God through Jesus Christ’, he emphasized.
The Catholic priest said believing in Christ is the only way to overcome human suffering
‘Through Christ, God reveals his presence on earth’, says Fr Afore
‘My dear Christians, let us be happy with the evangelical readings that tells us how Jesus came amidst us. It tells us that Jesus was there even before creation with God. From the beginning was word and the word was with God before creating everything. And everything was created because of him. And if everything is created because of Him what does it tell, it means He is God who came to earth. The word became flesh. Because of God’s words, He will become man amidst us, He wants to elevate us from our suffering’, he explained.
Fr Kamilo Afore was preaching during Christmas at St Peter and Paul Cathedral in Torit on Wednesday.
