Dr. Paul Dhinakaran wished a merry Christmas to the nation
- No shutdown; Saviour is with us!
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, Chancellor, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences wished a merry Christmas to the Nation.
He said, “Last year we came across several lockdowns. The first Christmas for Mary, Joseph, and little Jesus was also a shutdown in a manger. Nobody was there; only animals were there. It was a shutdown from the world. All they had was torn cloth to wear the child. But it was there they saw the greatest glory of God.”
The people in that town, Bethlehem, were not told about the birth of Christ. Heaven rejoiced when the baby was born in that tiny manger. Angels appeared and announced it to the shepherds. The star appeared and announced it to the wise men. Unknown people came in that lockdown period to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus and were honored. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh came to that unknown place; to that lockdown place when Jesus was born.
My friend, for God’s people, there is no place with a shutdown because Jesus lives with them. Where Jesus is, the chosen people who have to come and help you will come in search of you. Where Jesus is, the wealth of the world gold, frankincense comes in search of you to sustain you.
