The Senator representing Osun East, Francis Fadahunsi has called on Christians across Nigeria to reflect deeply on the essence of Easter by embracing a life rooted in sacrifice, compassion, and genuine love for one another.
In a goodwill message issued on Friday through his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Segun-Progress, the lawmaker commended Christians for successfully observing the 40-day Lenten fast, describing it as a demonstration of discipline, faith, and spiritual commitment.
He urged them not to abandon the values cultivated during the period, but to sustain a lifestyle of piety, humility, and devotion beyond the season.
Fadahunsi emphasised that the life of Jesus Christ remains the ultimate example of selflessness and love, noting that His earthly mission was defined by sacrifice for the salvation of mankind.
“Jesus sacrificed His throne, came to earth to live like man, and because without the shedding of blood there cannot be remission of sins, He laid down His life so we can be saved,” he said.
The Senator also stressed that love was the driving force behind Christ’s ultimate sacrifice on the cross, adding that such unconditional love should inspire human relationships and interactions in society.
“Christ’s sacrifice was borne out of love for humanity. That same love must guide our actions, decisions, and relationships with others, regardless of differences,” he stated.
He further encouraged Christians to use the solemn period of Easter as an opportunity to pray fervently for Nigeria, particularly for peace, unity, and progress, as well as for leaders at all levels of governance.
According to him, national transformation can only be achieved when citizens imbibe the virtues of love, sacrifice, and collective responsibility.
