The story of Christ is a reminder of hope, light and victory - NFP

National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad says the story of Lord Jesus Christ is eternal and we can reflect on him where despite darkness and death, we are stronger when we are led by compassion and love.

In his Easter message, Professor Prasad says the story of Easter tells us that Christ triumphed over death, evil and unjust collusion that sent him to be crucified.

He says it is a reminder of hope, light and victory both at the cross, and when the stone was rolled away.

Prasad says as we enter the Easter long weekend and as Christians commemorate the Lord Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, we are reminded of Christ's victory over death.

He adds we should remember and reach out to our suffering countrymen, women, elders, widows, widowers and children and see in them the redemption message of Easter, and the dignified compassion of Christ.
