Good Friday: Cleric Urges Christians To Emulate Christ’s Life Of Sacrifice

A cleric, Pastor Tunji Olagoke has urged Christians
to emulate life of sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Olagoke made the call at the opening of a three-
day Easter retreat of Christ Foundation Bible
Church in Ilorin on Friday. He said the blessing of Christ’s crucifixion is
assured if Christians identify with His suffering on
the cross. “Christianity is a life style of power not just a
religion and the cross of Jesus Christ is our power. “Before you can value the cross and its
significance, you must understand what it cost
Christ to bear our sins. “The fellowship of his suffering can be likened to
the beauty or the dividend we benefit from the
death on the cross. “The work of our redemption took place at the
cross, at Golgotha Jesus finished the work of
salvation”, he said. The cleric emphasised that Jesus filled the gap
between God and man at the cross as He took our
sins upon Himself. “So we must put and plants the crosses in the
centre of all that concerns us and identify with the
grace we have received of God”, he said. The clergyman also prayed for Nigeria and the
leaders, urging God to restore peace to the North.
