Easter and its message cannot change. Easter is about the sacrifice, the selflessness of Jesus Christ, and a call to all who profess the faith to follow these virtues in their dealings with others.
God chose to redeem the world through the death of His son. He died a humiliating death that atoned for the sins of the world. Without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, there would have been no Christian faith, yet Easter is marked with more sobriety than Christmas, fiesta of the birth of Christ.
Great lessons abound for all at Easter and they are useful to our country that is boiling over elections. Christ’s personal examples in all aspects of life are lost to those who want things for themselves. Selfishness makes people unreasonable. It destroys them.
Christ’s humility, with all the powers available to him, should challenge those who abuse their little powers.
There are great leadership lessons from Easter. In the blind bid for power, our leaders, even those who claim to be Christians, ignore the tenets of Christianity.http://indepthafrica.com/nigeria/headlines/who-will-die-for-nigerians/?sms_ss=delicious&at_xt=4db155339a6db2f4%2C0
