Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) delivered a virtual speech at the 2020 National Christmas Celebration on Sunday (12/27/2020).
The atmosphere of this year’s Christmas celebration was lived in a different environment due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused people to limit their activities and adapt to new habits, miss opportunities to meet family and friends, are unable to properly worship, study and work from home, and reduce interactions.
In the midst of this difficult situation, Jokowi invited all parties not to quickly lose hope. In relation to this Christmas celebration, the President also reminded all Christians that God will always be with his people and will provide a way to face difficult times.
“As believers, this heavy burden should not quickly discourage us. In each Christmas celebration we will find the light of small candles that are lit in all Christian homes in the country. Candlelight reminds all of us of our presence. God is always with us, is present among us and works for the recovery of his people, “he said, quoted on the Setkab website.
On the other hand, according to Jokowi, we cannot remain silent either and we must try both physically and mentally. The goal is to keep trying to carry out the pandemic health protocol wholeheartedly and with discipline to protect yourself, your family, and your friends and avoid the corona virus.
This holiday celebration should also be the culminating moment for the growth of a new awareness and introspection to always remember that human beings must love each other, care for each other, and love each other in the midst of difficulties.
“Christmas should also be an impulse to realize God’s love for others who suffer, help each other, care for each other, share burdens and always bring goodness to the nation and the state,” Jokowi said.
For this reason, the Head of State has high hopes that all Christians in the country will continue to hold out hope while spreading goodness among others to bring a new spirit that all Indonesians can quickly recover and come out of the difficult situation of this pandemic together. .
