Christmas message from Rev. Mohu Lolohea

Rev. Mohu Lolohea Trinity St. Paul’s Union Parish of Cambridge.

Mandatory is the word we may all not want to hear anymore. And for the last three years we have been stuck with all the rules and what to do wherever we go.

This year we started to come to the normality we would like to, however Covid is still around and the celebration of Christmas is right before us. When we look at Christmas, it’s with all the information we’ve inherited.

All we know about Jesus’s life and death, and resurrection.

We interpret it through over two thousand years of Christian life.

There are times when we wish we knew more about the future. Moments when we would like to feel in better control of life, but we can’t. Life’s not like that. Each day we walk into the unknown as Mary and Joseph did.

And, like them, we find strength for that one day. And then the next. We have one advantage though, that they didn’t have. We do know who Jesus is, and what he’s done. And we have the confidence of walking into each day with Christ the essence of Christmas.

Meri Kirihimete. – Rev Mohu Lolohea.
