Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has urged Christians to draw spiritual inspiration from the resurrection story of Jesus Christ as they celebrate Easter.<\/p>\n

Nwoko made the call in an Easter message made available to newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He urged Christians to allow the symbolism of Jesus Christ\u2019s death on the cross to reflect in them.<\/p>\n

The senator said Easter was a commemoration of the fulfillment of God\u2019s prophecy that offered the hope of eternal life to mankind.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis hope of eternal life is through the sacrificial death of Christ and His subsequent resurrection from the dead.<\/p>\n

\u201dWith this faith, Christians should significantly contribute towards making the earth a better place for all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nwoko further charged Christians to use the Easter celebration to demonstrate Christ-like concern for the poor and powerless in society.<\/p>\n

\u201dLet us speak up against injustice and all activities that tend to impede equal opportunities, fairness, and national unity.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt should be a season of renewal of hope and sober reflection. The season should remind us of the importance of compassion, unity, and resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nwoko urged Christians to use the period to renew their commitment to the service of the nation and to pray for peace and sustenance of national unity.<\/p>\n
