Easter: Obaseki tasks Christians on sacrifice, redemption, love
Edo
State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has called on Christians to imbibe
the virtue of selfless service and love in commemoration of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the
hallmark of the Easter season.
Obaseki
made the call to mark Easter, a holiday in the Christian calendar which
marks the end of the 40-day Lenten season. It is celebrated by several
Christian denominations across
the world.
The
governor noted, “I join Christian faithful in Edo State and across the
world in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, whose
sacrifice to redeem mankind is an enduring example to
all.
“As
we mark Easter Sunday, it is important to reflect on the lessons of
selflessness, the virtue of love and redemption. I encourage everyone
not just to uphold the love shared this period but
also to ensure that it becomes a part of our lives every day.”
Obaseki
added, “With selfless service and passion for the downtrodden as key
teachings on Easter, I enjoin everyone to be their brother’s keeper,
work to foster peace and togetherness, and uphold
the collective good of all in our dealings.”
The
governor assured Edo residents that adequate security arrangements have
been made to ensure a peaceful Easter celebration in the state.
