“Through his resurrection, we are free from eternal damnation. If he had not risen, the hope of heaven would have been lost,” the bishop said.
“His resurrection reminds us there is life after death and judgment to come. This should inspire us to do good and live according to God’s word.”
Bishop Adewole urged Christians to remain hopeful for Christ’s return and to show love, charity, and commitment to God and humanity.
He also appealed to government at all levels to do more in alleviating the suffering of Nigerians.
“The government is trying, but we are still hungry. Like Oliver Twist, we ask for more. They should lead with the fear of God and take bolder steps to ease the hardship in the land.” he said.
