Easter: Emulate Jesus, Arewa Charges Christians by BlackPikiN(m): 6:57am On Apr 06, 2012
By EMEKA MAMAH
KADUNA—Arewa Consutative Forum, ACF, has asked Nigerians to emulate the sacrifices made by Jesus Christ through His death on the cross for mankind to be liberated from sin by loving and accommodating one another, saying that relative pluralism was needed for meaningful socio-economic development.

In its Easter message by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Anthony Sani, ACF said: ‘’Nigerians can make the most of their differences by loving and respecting them.’’

He said: ‘’As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who, through pains and sacrifice associated with crucifixion, brought about the message of reconciliation and hope, ACF wishes all Christians happy Easter.

’’Jesus Christ broke barriers that hitherto existed by reaching out to people of all races,nations and culture of all classes and paid the supreme price to reconcile humanity to God.

’’Yet, death could not hold Him when He resurrected from the death. It is in that spirit that Nigerians should make consciously-directed efforts and find ways of overcoming all those differences, be they religious, ethnic, regional or political, that divide the people.

’’This is because Nigerians can make the most of their differences by loving and respecting them. Cultures, traditions, ethnicity and pantheonism may differ, but they are dynamic.

’’Consider language as the basic element of culture and tradition can disappear from the face of the earth,but core value of humanity like love and sacred inviolability of the individual are for eternity. It is such consideration that ACF uses to wish all Christians a wonderful Easter celebration in the hope that we will all mimick Christ’s unconditional love of our neighbours as ourselves.’

’’That is about the only way to inspire peaceful coexistence that comes with tolerance, accommodation and relative pluralism, which are needed for any meaningful socio-economic development.’’

Sowore is not a wise man..
