Living such a quality of life as children of light will allow the light of Christ to shine in our homes, in our schools, in our places of work, in our communities, in our nation, and the world.” Executive Secretary of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies (PAWI) Reverend Selwyn Brathwaite added that the life of Jesus carries the greatest message and mission. He said Christians must, therefore, look at Jesus’ life and be assured that no matter what they may endure, once they stand by their spiritual conviction they will continue to be victorious. “So the message for our nation is to always have hope because Jesus is the perfect example of victory over testing circumstances. Jesus’ life offers us hope. He went through different challenges and he came out victoriously so that we can do the same,” Reverend Brathwaite said. President of the East Caribbean Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), Anthony Hall, said that while Christians are at this time observing that Jesus died and resurrected, they must apply and acknowledge the significance and meaning of the historical event to their lives and be transformed and changed because of it. “So, it is not in commemoration of [in the way] we celebrate something like Independence or some historical day. It is to accept Christ, to accept what he has done through death, and to understand that through resurrection he has provided the path for us to experience the same spiritually and, at the appropriate time, literally as well. So, don’t just celebrate a date and remember an event; enter into the experience and make it real and personable for yourself,” he said.
