Christians in Ghana on Friday celebrated Good Friday, which signified the agony and the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.<\/p>\n
At The Apostolic Church, Ghana (TAC), the church hall was filled with members clad in mourning clothes, reflecting the suffering of the Lord Jesus Christ on that fateful day.<\/p>\n
Pastor John Oduro Nkansah, Local Pastor at the Awudome Assembly of TAC said this year the Church chose: \u201cJesus Christ, King of Kings\u201d as the theme for its Easter Convention.<\/p>\n
He said it was important that Jesus Christ should be the King in the hearts of everybody to enable them exercise all the attributes of Easter, which he said was sacrifice, reconciliation, peace, love and
sharing with the less endowed in the society.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus Christ sacrificed his life for our sake, so we must also learn to sacrifice for one another, our homes, our families and the society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pastor Nkansah said Easter was about peace and there was the need for men to have peace within their hearts, among themselves, families and every ethnic group to make the celebration of Easter meaningful.<\/p>\n
Pastor Nkansah appealed to the people of Dagbon to give peace a chance and allow it to permeate every fibre of their lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should also use the occasion to reconcile the two factions \u2013 Abudus and Andanis- to bring perpetual peace that would enable them rebuild the Dagbon State.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said Christians have been saved through what was termed undeserved favour and stressed the need for them to equally show that favour to others.<\/p>\n
He also called on the youth not to throw away obedience to authority and the elderly because it was the foundation of every prosperous nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would also like to appeal to our drivers and merry makers to observe the road traffic regulations and must be extra careful to avoid unnecessary tragedy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On the La Cote d\u2019Ivoire crises, Pastor Nkansah urged the warring factions to give peace a chance and unite to rebuild the country. He also urged Christians in Cote d\u2019Ivoire to keep on praying for their country and \u201cI will extend the same appeal to all Christians in Ghana to continue to support their brethren in prayers for peace to prevail\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would also want to guide the media against bad language that would flame up tension and anger,\u201d he added. Pastor Nkansah appealed to Ghanaians to treat the Ivorian refugees flocking into the country humanely.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, if they found them not law abiding, they should hand them over to the appropriate authorities,\u201d he said.
