MWUN felicitates with Christians at Easter
The leadership of Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) under Comrade (Prince) Dr. Adewale Adeyanju, felicitates with Christians on Easter Day Celebration in Nigeria and the world at large.
The Easter celebration which is the symbol of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated annually by Christian faithful across the globe. The Celebration of Easter is to mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary and His resurrection from death on the third day.
A statement by the Union, said that Adeyanju, who doubles as the Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and as well as the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) Vice President Global, admonished Christians to emulate the exemplary life of our Lord Jesus Christ while on planet earth, who went about doing good, preaching the gospel of righteousness, love and forgiveness at all times.
He, however, advised Christians across the globe to use this season to eschew violence and all manners of inter-tribal acrimony and wars amongst nations.
He encouraged love for one another; the Agape kind of love with genuine forgiveness from the heart, which Jesus demonstrated for mankind to emulate. He also noted that imbibing this Biblical injunction as Christians would make the world a better place for all to live in irrespective of different religious beliefs, descents, creeds, and political differences.
“The word of the Almighty God is the same everywhere in the world, therefore, for us to continue to have enduring peace without rancor and discrimination; humans of all races, shades, colour and tongues must continue to embrace one another wherever and whenever we find ourselves,” Adeyanju said.
He called on all to learn from the purpose of this season that is being celebrated and enjoined Christians to learn to persevere and be of a true spirit always while enduring all situations according to the teachings Jesus Christ.
