President John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has urged Christians to use the Easter season as a time for reflection and sacrifice.
Speaking at the Good Friday Miracle Service organised by Lighthouse Chapel International on Friday, April 18, 2025, he encouraged believers to reject pride, resentment, anger, and division, and to embrace the true message of Christ.
“Jesus sacrificed His life for the rest of us so that we may live. My brothers and sisters, if Christ laid down His life for us, how much more should we lay down, pride, resentment, division, and hatred for one another?
“We must not just pretend to be Christians. We must not just pretend to be followers of Jesus Christ. We must live Christlike lives,” he said.
He continued, “If any of you is in this assembly, in this congregation, and you have someone somewhere you’re quarreling with, this is the moment. You must leave that grudge here and go back and show that person love, just as Jesus Christ showed you. We are also called to carry one another’s burdens.”
President Mahama described Good Friday as a solemn reminder of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.
“Good Friday is sobering. For many of us, it is emotional because it reminds us of the pain, the rejection, and the ultimate sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” he remarked.
He concluded by calling on Christians to truly embody the life and teachings of Christ.
