Bishop Nyarko Andam said the death of the “Messiah on the Cross” should inspire everybody to be at peace with God, themselves and their neighbors.

He called for Christians to do more to help society to overcome the violence, cruelty, vindictiveness and corrupt practices.

They should mirror Christ-like qualities of love, honesty, modesty, humility and service to humanity, he said, adding that, they were enjoined by their faith to become good example to others.

Bishop Nyarko Andam, said the significance of Christ’s death must not be lost on anybody and asked that they made sacrifices to make the society a better place to live.

He encouraged them to remain unwavering in their faith in the face of difficulties.
