In a message to the Season, the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumani Bagbin said Christians should be confronted by the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ.
”The season of Easter is a reminder of the sacrifice of Christ’s body on the cross of Calvary. As the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the greatest pillar of the Christian faith, we, as Christians, are comforted with the knowledge of the gift of salvation”.
Furthermore, Christ’s love should represent the selfless gesture of endless love.
”With the existence of Christianity mirrored by the demonstration of Jesus’ love even at the hour of His death and the symbolic testament of His awe-inspiring altruistic act of service for humanity, may we be guided by this selfless gesture of love during this period”.
”In our due reflection on the purpose of Easter, let us also aspire to emulate the didactic lesson that this season presents in the embodiment of three vital values:
May the death of Christ symbolise the end of past grievances;
May His burial depict the internment of all things retrogressive, and may His resurrection epitomise our commitment to serving in truth, love, and peace”, the message noted.
