Member representing the South East on the Governing Board of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), Hon Sam Onuigbo, has called on Christians to embrace the cardinal lessons from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in their everyday lives.
In his Easter message to Nigerians, the former National Assembly member stated that the story of the death and resurrection of Christ is replete with the lessons of unconditional love, compassion, forgiveness, perseverance, obedience, and dedication to duty as shown by Christ.
Citing from the Book of Luke 22:49-51, the Climate Change Advocate said nothing best exemplifies Christ’s willingness to forgive those who wronged Him than the restoration of the ear of one of the servants of the Chief Priest who had come to arrest Him.
In his words: “Christ would further display His sense of duty, perseverance and determination to be sacrificial for those whom he loves unconditionally, by going ahead with His death and resurrection even though the human part of Him was scared at the end”.
The former National lawmaker who sponsored Nigeria’s Climate Act 2021 charged Christians to remember these cardinal lessons of Christ’s journey and live Christ like life so that the society can be a better place.
