The Managing Editor of the Insight Newspaper, Kwasi Pratt Jnr, has emphasised that the core message of Easter is the power of self-sacrifice for the greater good.
He explained that the season transcends religious boundaries and holds deep significance for all, particularly for revolutionaries committed to dismantling systems of exploitation.
Pratt noted that while Easter is rooted in Christian tradition, its central principle should resonate with anyone seeking social transformation.
“The most important principle or lesson of Easter is self-sacrifice for the general good, and this goes beyond religious sectarianism,” he stated in a post shared on social media on April 18, 2025.
He urged all change-seekers, especially revolutionaries, to understand the weight and seriousness of their mission.
“It is essential for all those pursuing any cause, especially revolutionaries who seek to overthrow the existing order of exploitation, domination, and oppression, to be ready to make the ultimate sacrifice,” he said.
Pratt added that true assurance of victory does not lie in blind faith but in scientific validation and unwavering commitment to the cause.
“The assurance of victory comes from the validation of our methods and vision by science, and our determination to overcome all obstacles,” he declared.
Drawing a parallel between the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the struggles faced by revolutionary movements, Pratt argued that even those who reject religious dogma can draw important lessons from the Easter story.
“The crucifixion of Jesus the Christ and the lessons drawn from it are important for the advancement of the world, even for those of us who refuse to embrace superstition.”
He concluded, “The slogan Victory or Death makes sense within this context.”
