He also encouraged believers to reflect on the meaning of Easter, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a time for spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and living a Christ-like life.

Rev. Can Nkurunungi said the resurrection of Jesus should not only be seen as a victory over death but also as a reminder of the suffering and patience Jesus endured. He called on Christians to remain strong in their faith, even during difficult times.
