The President of the Methodist Church in Fiji, Reverend Ili Vunisuwai says Christmas is now used by many people and businesses to make money but the real and true meaning of repentance should be brought back.

He shared this message while preaching in the Centenary Church in Suva today.

Vunisuwai says those that do not repent will miss the privilege of been forgiven and this is important because no one knows when they will be called.

He says Christmas is also a time to look back at what has been achieved, and to do much more than that.

Vunisuwai says he hopes that people know what Christmas means to them and this should always be reflected in their daily lives.

Meanwhile, Secretary for Communications, Reverend Wilfred Regunamada says their theme for this year’s Christmas is “Our salvation comes from the Prince of Bethlehem” which is a reminder that Jesus is the hope.
