As Christians in the whole world remembers the death of Jesus Christ today, being “Good Friday”, the former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has relayed a goodwill message to Nigerian Christians.
The ex-president, took to his official twitter handle to remind Christians in Nigeria that the death and the resurrection of Christ should strengthen them not to lose hope on their self and their nation, Nigeria.
He noted that as Christ triumphed over death, so shall Christians triumph “over death, freedom over bondage and hope over despair”.
He said; “Christ’s resurrection as a testimony of the new covenant is the justification for Christians’ commemoration of the triumph of life over death, freedom over bondage and hope over despair, at this time.
“I, therefore, urge us not to give up on our ourselves and our nation no matter the challenges that confront us today. At all times we must remain resolute on our love for God and our nation and work towards building a country that we can all be proud of.
“Through our faith and collective actions, we will overcome the tempests of violence, misery, and insecurity that threaten our nation. We are more than conquerors and the future of our nation is bright, if we work as one.
“May God fill our homes with peace, love, and joy even as we enjoy the abundance of Grace that Easter brings. Happy Easter! -GEJ
