Easter Celebration and blessings for every Christian
Easter is a three days event but which in Nigerian stretches to the fourth day because of the national holidays attached to it. It is the direct opposite of Christmas which marks the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ on December 25.
It is the classic depiction of sadness and Joy in one event, the wonderful story of God made man, born of a virgin maiden, who lived His 33 years on earth without sin but gave His life on the cross of Calvary for the redemption of sins. A wealthy nobleman, Joseph of Arimathea volunteered the tomb he had prepared for himself for Jesus's interment. Early on the third day, God resurrected Jesus, thus making Him the First fruit among those who accept Him as their Lord and Saviour to look forward to their resurrection when they die.
Thematically embedded in this fascinating story are the core principles of true Christianity; love, repentance, reconciliation, self-sacrifice, humility, compassion, selflessness, hope, and total submission to the will of the Almighty God. These are principles of living that other religions sometimes also harp on for their adherents to imbibe to make for a godly, peaceful, harmonious, and progressive society that works for everyone irrespective of their social standing.
The just concluded general elections brought out the worst in Nigerians because of the desperation of those in power to keep themselves in power against the people's wishes. Nigerian's restoration can only be possible through the voluntary self-sacrifice that Jesus Christ demonstrated 2023 years ago and thusly lit the candle that birthed the largest religious faithful in the world. Nigerian cannot succeed unless it casts off its toga of criminal enterprise and undergoes a Christ-like resurrection experience.
Meanwhile, for those who are traveling for family and communal reunions, please be guided by the need to obey all road regulations.
The Federal Roads Safety Corps, FRSC, has been drumming this. This is the moment for sober reflection and moderation for those who celebrate.
A blessed Easter to All.
