At the core of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, are the messages of renewal and rebirth, sacrifice, forgiveness and love. In the culmination of his life of selfless sacrifice, Jesus Christ gave his life for others to live. Let us emulate him, in our private and public lives, by exhibiting those virtues for which he lived.
This year’s Easter celebrations have coincided with an ongoing political transition that has so far been widely
adjudged a success, and one that also paves the way
for us to have a national rebirth. In doing this, we must
show love and eschew bitterness. We must put the
acrimony of the long drawn electioneering campaign
behind us.
Just like Jesus Christ remains a shining light in a world
of gloom, let us be beacons of faith, hope and love as
we, irrespective of our political leaning, embark on the
onerous task of making our nation great again.
