Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
On this glorious day, we gather together as a united community of believers to rejoice and celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we commemorate this momentous event, we also acknowledge the fulfillment of the 40-day lenten season – a period of reflection, repentance, and preparation.
Today, our hearts overflow with joy and gratitude, for we know that through Christ’s resurrection, eternal life has been made possible for all who believe in Him. It is a time to lift our voices in hymns of praise and our spirits in thanksgiving for the gift of salvation that has been bestowed upon us.
We are reminded of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross, taking upon Himself the sins of the world, so that we may be reconciled with our heavenly Father. Throughout the lenten season, we followed His footsteps, contemplating the depth of love and mercy that led Him to give His life for us. Our journey was one of self-examination, seeking forgiveness, and striving for spiritual growth.
In this spirit of celebration and unity, we extend our warmest greetings and well wishes to all Christians around the world. Together, we share the joy of our risen Lord, knowing that His love has the power to heal, restore, and redeem. May this day be a source of immense spiritual renewal and a reminder of the everlasting hope we have in Jesus Christ.
May this Easter season bring you abundant blessings, renewed faith, and an outpouring of God’s grace. From the depths of our hearts, we join in celebration with you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the completion of the lenten season.
Rejoice, for He is risen!
With heartfelt joy and love,
OBA DR OLUWOLE OLUFADERIN ADETIMEHIN JIMOKO II.
