Prez Mahama’s Easter Message: “Let's Fight Selfishness...And Help The Poor”
Jesus sacrificed His life so that our sins will be
forgiven and have the opportunity to spend
eternity with in Heaven. That is such a powerful
sacrifice.

And as Christians all over the world celebrate
Good Friday today April 18, 2014, which marks the
suffering, crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ
some years ago, President John Dramani Mahama as
part of the Easter celebration, has urged
Ghanaians to emulate what Christ did by showing
Love to the less privileged.

“My dear Ghanaians, let's fight the selfishness
in our minds. Let's help, as much as we can, the
poor and the ill,” he said in an Easter message
posted on his Facebook wall.

culled from his Facebook page…

My dear Ghanaians, brothers and sisters…
Every year, when Easter comes, I think of the
unique power of sacrifice. As fragile and useless
it may seem sacrifice proves to be, over and over
again, mankind's most powerful engine. Good
parents sacrifice their present comfort for the
future of their children

Real friends devote precious time and support to
the ones they feel attached to. True heroes give
their blood and endure humiliation for the sake of
an idea or maybe for the birth of a nation.

Our Lord Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for all
of us. He suffered atrocious torture for the
future of all His children. He gave up His human
time for our chance to eternity. He went to hell
so we can all go to heaven.

This is love. This is the greatest love in our
world history. We have a sacred example that we
can follow and Easter tells us how magnificent the
power of love is.

So, for this wonderful celebration, I want to tell
you this, my dear Ghanaians: let's fight the
selfishness in our minds. Let's help, as much as
we can, the poor and the ill. Let's have patience
with our children and play with them until they
grow mature. Let's take care of our old parents
and grandparents and remember that only their
bodies’ age, not their souls. Let's work not
only for tomorrow and not only for ourselves, but
for our communities and our great country.

Let's love more.
I wish you all a Happy Easter! May God give you
and your families’ warm hearts and
understanding!
