Christmas Message by Dr the Hon Timothy Harris, Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Tuesday, December 25, 2018

My Fellow Citizens and Residents,

On this glorious Christmas morning, I am honoured to address you, the people of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis – a country that I am proud and blessed to lead and that we are all incredibly grateful to call our home.

I bring this Christmas Message of Charity and Compassion to the nation one month after celebrating 25 years as a Parliamentarian.

At times the sheer weight of the responsibility of leadership can seem overwhelming; however, the Bible reminds me that I can place my trust and confidence in God, who knows every need and who has all the power.

That’s why this and every other Christmas Day, we can recite with deep assurance the words of Isaiah 9:6 (New International Version):

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called 
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
