The Archbishop of Juba, Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla, has called on Christians to change their hearts and behave correctly during the festive season.
Archbishop Ameyu says Christians can only see God’s miracles once they are converted from their sinful ways and become the beginning of hope in society.
“During this season, we are to see Christ more clearly and Love him clearly and follow him more closely in our brothers and sisters, we can only see God clearly when we are converted to him from our sinful ways in life that becomes the beginning of hope.”
“Christmas is the time when God invest and renew us. He keeps faith in us and he wants us to keep faith in ourselves, so that we never give up even when we fall short of what he what he wants of us,” Bishop Ameyu said.
The Archbishop says Christmas is a time God invests and renews his children through his son Jesus Christ.
Archbishop Ameyu encourages Christians to have strong faith and never give up their faith because God subsequently helps those who did not give up.
He asks the people of South Sudan to utilize this advent season to repent and also renew their hope in God.
