Olubadan Preaches Love At Easter

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Sen Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II urged Christians to deeply reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which is the reason for the Easter celebration.

Oba Balogun made this known in his Easter message press release issued by his media personal assistant Oladele Ogunsola, The Guardian reports on Friday.

He said “This is a sacred moment in the life of Christians, a period of remembrance of uncommon love displayed by their leader/master- Jesus Christ who laid down His life for the remission of their sins. Before His crucifixion on the Cross, the totality of all His earthly activities was centred on love for God and fellow beings.

“It is this love for all that I now beseech all to show to one another. As a country, we need it to engender growth and development. Let our leaders show love to the citizens by ensuring that whatever policy they make is well thought out to be harmless or not injurious to the well-being of the people. The citizens on the other hand owe it a duty to obey the leaders, show understanding and pray for them to do well in office.

“At our individual level, let’s relate with one another without any form of discrimination just like Jesus Christ was doing during His earthly ministry up to the point of His death on the Cross when he still prayed for His adversaries. If we love one another genuinely without any form of barrier or sentiment, there would be less tension in our environment. This is what the Lord Jesus Christ is expecting from true believers”.
