The Bishop of Muhabura Diocese, Rt Rev Godfrey Mbitse, has called on Christians to turn away from sin and remain faithful to God’s commandments in order to attain everlasting life.
Preaching during his Easter Sunday sermon broadcast on Voice of Muhabura on April 5, 2026, Bishop Mbitse joined Christians around the world in celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which he described as the foundation of the Christian faith.
In his message, the bishop emphasized the importance of living a righteous life and warned against engaging in actions that harm others. He encouraged believers to lead lives that reflect goodness, stressing the need for regular prayer and adherence to God’s teachings in their daily lives.
Bishop Mbitse also highlighted Easter Sunday as a significant day in the Christian calendar, noting that it symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and offers hope to believers. He urged Christians to embrace this hope and to welcome Jesus Christ into their hearts.
Additionally, he appealed to the public to reject hatred and instead promote love, unity, kindness, and compassion within their communities.
His message comes as Christians worldwide reflect on the meaning of Easter and renew their faith.
Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion, representing victory over sin and death, the fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and the promise of eternal life for believers. It concludes Holy Week and ushers in the 50-day Easter season.
