Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has in an Easter message charged Ghanaians to use Christ’s death to open a new chapter.
He outlined three vital values the citizenry must embrace and be guided by, which he said included “selfless gesture of love during this period.”
The totality of this, he prayed, will bring an end to past grievances and retrogression.
On behalf of Members of Parliament, the Board and the Parliamentary Service Staff, Speaker Bagbin extended his Easter wishes asking that;
The death of Christ would symbolise the end of past grievances
His burial represent the burial of all things retrogressive, and
His resurrection would serve as the ideal example of our commitment to serve in truth, love and peace.
Read the Speaker’s Easter message below
The season of Easter is a reminder of the sacrifice of Christ’s body on the cross of Calvary. As the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ mark the greatest pillar of the Christian faith, we, as Christians, are comforted with the knowledge of the gift of salvation.
With the existence of Christianity mirrored by the demonstration of Jesus’ love even at the hour of His death and the symbolic testament of His awe-inspiring altruistic act of service for humanity, may we be guided by this selfless gesture of love during this period.
In our due reflection on the purpose of Easter, let us also aspire to emulate the didactic lesson that this season presents in the embodiment of three vital values:
May the death of Christ symbolise the end of past grievances;
May His burial depict the interment of all things retrogressive, and may His resurrection epitomise our commitment to serve in truth, love and peace.
On behalf of the Members of Parliament, the Board and Staff of the Parliamentary Service,
I wish you all a HAPPY EASTER.
