Christians urged to give life to other
irrespective of tribe
Kumasi, April 7, GNA - The Right Reverend Daniel Yinkah-
Sarfo, the Anglican Bishop of Kumasi, has appealed to
Christians to re-affirm their faith and give life to others
irrespective of their tribe, age or social status.
Addressing the congregation at a Good Friday service at the
Saint Cyprian Anglican Cathedral in Kumasi, he said "we
heard of Jesus' suffering and plead with insanity on behalf
of his attackers" when he was nailed to the cross.
"We heard him utter a cry of abandonment and dereliction,
groan of submission to God and above all we have been
surprised at his offer of a new way of graciousness in
dealing with ones worst enemies", he said.
All these, Rt Rev Yinkah-Safo said, added up to a new order
of doing things in one's life in the world.
"This new order says that true power is located in suffering
and self-giving rather than in wielding force and
self-assertion."
He said for this reason it behoved on Christians to pursue
the religion of God's freedom, the economics of sharing and
the politics of justice in their life.
The Bishop appealed to the congregation to go home and
share, inform and transform people by the Good Friday
experience challenging them to ask themselves what was
expected from them in these stern days.
