The Very Reverend Dr Paul Kwabena Boafo, Superintendent Minister of the Calvary Methodist Church, on Tuesday said Christians did not need any law from anybody to enable them to reconcile with one another.
He said the recent law passed by Parliament on reconciling the nation would come to nothing if there were no change of heart and the willingness to forgive, as Christ would have wished Christians to do.
Preaching a sermon on Christmas Day at the Calvary Methodist Church at Adabraka, Rev Boafo said the need for Ghanaians to reconcile with one another was paramount but before that could happen every individual must start the exercise from his or her heart and home first.
He said “this is the time that Ghanaians must allow joy, love and peace of God to prevail in the country.
“The purpose of Christmas is to reunite man and God. The most significant reason for the celebration of the birth of Christ is the reconciliation that it brings between man and God. You cannot unite with God if you cannot live in harmony with your neighbour.”
He said God in his own wisdom manifested himself in Christ to reconcile with all sinners. Rev Boafo, who spoke on the theme, “The purpose of Christmas and reconciliation”, said Christmas brought joy, love and peace to mankind.
Rev Boafo, who earlier baptized 41 children advised parents and the elderly not to hinder children from coming to God because the Bible said that theirs was the kingdom of God. ” Anybody who tries to turn these children away from God has a punishment”.
