From Ogbonnaya Ndukwe, Aba

 

ABA, Abia – Nigerians have been enjoined to see the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as a period of reflection and gratitude to God for leading us through the pains and sufferings of the present state of affairs in the universe.

They were also reminded that Easter, was more significant and relevant to Christendom, “in view of the challenges facing us today, as it reminds us that no matter matter how difficult our circumstances may be, God’s love and power are greater.”

Archbishop of Aba Ecclesiastical Province of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Dr Isaac Nwaobia, in a message to commemorate this year’s Easter celebrations, urged Nigerians to realize that “just as Jesus triumphed over death and brought new life, we can find hope and strength in the midst of our struggles.”

The prelate said the season was a time to remember the call to action to go and spread the good news of the gospel.

“This Easter, let us renew our commitment to live out our faith in tangible ways, to love and serve others and be a light in the darkness.”

“May the vision of Christ, fill your hearts with joy, peace and renewed hope. May he strengthen you in your journey of faith and empower you to be agents of his love in the world.”

Archbishop Nwaobia, prayed God to use His son’s resurrection to bring healing, reconciliation and new life to those we encounter in our daily activities.
