On Wednesday, December 18, 2013, the joyous atmosphere of Christmas could be felt at Sekolah Dasana Indah that is located approximately 5 km from Universitas Pelita Harapan. That day, UPH held a Christmas Service which was attended by UPH Rector Jonathan L. Parapak, Vice Rector Connie Rasilim, UPH lecturers and staff together with the leader of Yayasan Pembinaan dan Pendidikan Generasi Bangsa Indonesia Drg. Andy Indra Gunawan, the headmaster of Sekolah Dasana Indah as well as the students of the school.
The rainy weather at that time did not hinder the serenity of the service. In his preach, Rev. Polo Situmorang relayed a message from John 3:16, about the ?Miracle of Love?. He preached the three ways to know God?s love for us: to notice the sin in ourselves, to understand that there is no way for human to redeem their own sin and to, and to accept that only God who could save human from their sin. ?In order to experience God?s love, human must put their faith onto God. It means that human truly accept Jesus in theirselves,? Rev. Polo asserted. At the end of his preach, Rev. Polo encouraged the participants to respond to the miracle of God?s love by spreading love and forgiving others.
