BROADCAST TO THE PEOPLE OF IMO STATE ON
THE OCCASION OF EASTER CELEBRATION ON SUNDAY APRIL 4TH 2021
My beloved people of Imo State, I bring
you warm felicitations on this glorious occasion of Easter The Easter season
marks the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is the root of
Christianity.
That glorious resurrection of Christ on
Easter Sunday is the everlasting emblem of the triumph of love over hate, of
light over darkness. Most importantly the events of Easter comfort us with the
assurance of a secured pathway to our salvation.
As we celebrate Easter, our faith is
strengthened because it reminds us that Christ died on the cross for our sake,
because he loves us. As Christ himself said; what other love is greater than
this... that a man should die for his friends.
Therefore we should rejoice and be glad,
for Christ, our Lord has risen in glory, after paying the supreme sacrifice of
shedding his blood, for our sake.
However, as we celebrate, we should
ponder awhile and soberly reflect on the power of this love that made Christ to
die for us. With such love, we can build a kinder and more inclusive society
where love defines how we relate with each other.
Let us, therefore, resolve during this
Easter celebration to truly love our country and our state by thinking more of
what we can do to make our country and our state better, than thinking more of
what we can get out from country and state.
Sacrifice is the pillar of love.
Therefore as true Christians, we must be prepared, to make sacrifices for the
good of our neighbour and the larger
society.
