Jesus: Epitome of love and tolerance

SIR: As Christians in Nigeria and all other parts of the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, we felicitate with them on this monumental occasion.

Christmas period is not only a time for festivities but also a time for sober reflections. The birth of Jesus symptomises hope for the hopeless. His death stands for readiness for supreme sacrifice. His resurrection mirrors the reality of life after death and amplifies the unique nature and power of God to bring the living out of the dead, light after darkness and knowledge after a long period of ignorance.
