Columnist: Nduom, Papa Kwesi

Nduom's Easter message

As a people, we must not forget that Easter time is a religious period. Let us all remember and consider how the transformation brought about by the risen Christ has affected the entire world for generations.

I recommend reading Corinthians 15:16-20

As one writer puts it, "For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

These specific bible verses tell us that the Christian faith is dependent upon the resurrection of Jesus. Without it there would be absolutely no Christian faith. Go through these impressive Easter Bible verses to not forget there was an important cause for this to take place."

It is with this in mind that I urge all Ghanaians to pray for transformation in our lives so we can work for change in our nation. We should pray for a better attitudes, discipline, democracy and ability to choose our leaders freely at the local level, sustained battle against corruption and prosperity that comes from a strong, sustained work ethic.

Let our politics bring us unity and leadership that is caring and selfless.

Above all, let us remember that this is a holy, christian period.

Papa Kwesi Nduom
