The message in the resurrection of Jesus Christ to Nigeria is that the country would soon exit from its present predicaments and be elevated.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made this known shortly after the Easter Sunday Service at Aso Villa Chapel, Presidential Villa in Abuja.
His words: “The resurrection of Jesus Christ is also a strong and powerful message to the nation.
“The message is that our nation is on the path of resurrection, is on the path of progress, is on the path of elevation.
“We are moving out from all our challenges and we are going to a place of greater hope, peace and prosperity and abundance for all of us.”
A similar message was delivered by the Chaplain of the Aso Villa Chapel, Pastor Seyi Malomo.
His sermon is titled: “The Temporary Hour of Darkness.”
He stressed that in the same manner Jesus Christ resurrected, Nigeria would rise from its present state and be a better nation.

“In terms of sacrifice, we have to emulate the life of Jesus Christ. He sacrificed for mankind and we are liberated and celebrating because he paid the sacrifice.
“We are all called to play our role in giving that sacrifice that will bring the liberation, the greatness of our nation.”
