ALL citizens especially politicians are being called upon to reflect, forgive and understand that it’s only through service and sacrifice that a nation could be built of which citizens could be proud of.
Political leader of the National Transformation Alliance (NTA) Gary Griffith made that call in his Easter message on Good Friday.
He said, “As we celebrate this special time, let us reflect on the fact that God sacrificed his only son to give us a second chance. Through the ultimate sacrifice of his very life, Jesus ensured that all Christians would have the opportunity to navigate the challenges of this world and earn the right to one day be with him in glory.”
Griffith said that Jesus gave his life so that people today could have an abundant life.
He said, “I call on all citizens, in particular all politicians, whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever has happened in the past – to reflect, to forgive and to understand that it’s only through service and sacrifice that we will build a nation of which we can be proud.
“A nation where each and every one of us can live in harmony, and be assured of a future where all basic needs are met, and we are safe and secure in the knowledge that our leadership follows the message of Christ.”
The NTA was built on the foundation of service and on the concept of ‘treating others as you would like to be treated’ and that faith makes all things possible once people believe, Griffith said.
He wished everyone a blessed Easter, filled with love and the grace of God.
“May your hearts be filled with joy and your homes with peace. May the light of Christ guide you through the darkness and bring you to the path of righteousness,” Griffith said.
