We have ‘Good Friday’ because a good man has died – Otabil

The General Overseer of the Central International Gospel Church (ICGC), Dr. Mensa Otabil, says the death of Jesus Christ marked an important chapter in humanity’s reconciliation with God.

“In his death, He gave us life and Good Friday marks the beginning of our redemption and the purchase of our life from God,” he said.

Delivering his Good Friday message on the “Word to go” television series on the subject: “He is dead,” the General Overseer said that day “a good man died, and on that day the good will of God has been shared with all ”.

He said that Pilate, during the trial of Jesus and the Centurion at the foot of the Cross, testified to the innocence of Christ Jesus, indicating that “He is a Goodman”.

Dr Otabil said that the death of Christ was characterized by unique events such as the darkening of the Sun, earthquakes and the division of the veil in the temple, proving that an innocent man had been killed and that God had given access to all in his divine heritage. .

He said that Christ forgave all who conspired and joined in his death, saying that even the thief on the cross was saved after he recognized his sin.

“… As we mark his death and grief, let us remember his goodwill and forgive one another,” added Dr Otabil.
